Also, the wick on our candle was off center, so we had to fiddle with it a fair bit to keep it where it was supposed to be. We couldn’t get the melt pool to reach the sides of the jar unless we used the tin foil method. The burn quality for this candle wasn’t too bad but it wasn’t the best either. On the back of each candle are what they call ‘Snappy Snippets’ which are facts that are numbered 1 – 99 and add a sort of collect-them-all element to the candles.

Upon popping the cork off and going in for a cold sniff it was immediately evident how great this candle would work as a masculine scent.

Other scents include: ‘Apple Pie Moonshine’, ‘Blackberry Brandy’, and ‘ Whiskey and Tobacco‘. ![]() The whole line of candles here is an ode to craft cocktails and their creators. It caught my eye when I was browsing Amazon one day with its unique apothecary type jar and unusual scent description.
