I think they are pretty decent. Top tip – don’t use them for 20 minutes then blow them out as they won’t burn down to the bottom properly. Leave them for an hour or so minimum.
Gotta keep them wicks trimmed or they smoke like a badly mapped diesel. IME
They do that if you only light them for short periods. Leave them burning for a while and the level of the wax stays constant just under the wick as all the wax melts not just the bit around the wick – you don’t get the bowl shape melting then
1. Burn them until the wax melts to the outside of the jar (a couple of hours for a large jar)
2. Trim the wick to around 5mm if the candle smokes
3. A Illuma Lid (metal thing) will hold some heat in helping the candle to melt faster and burn more evenly … some people use tin foil made into a cone shape.
The only candles acceptable for men are the emergency (and definitely unscented) candles every man should have in the kitchen drawer along with the stormproof matches.
WTF is wrong with you lot? What’s next a thread about what cushions?

There’s not a man alive that hasn’t got laid at some point without the aid of candles.
I was all set for a whanger shaped candle in perchy’s link so was initially a bit disappointed. Then I saw the price – £300 for a fackin’ candle! Jesus wept. Shirley any normal person that wanted a massive luxury candle would just nick one from a church? Or maybe from a cathedral if it was for a Christmas present.

We can’t all be butch alphas like you, Ron Swanson.

What you do in your own time with candles is nobody’s business but your own bearnecessities. You might not want to give those ones out as Christmas presents though.
A health risk as well if you allow the flame to gutter and send a fine haze of unburned hydrocarbons into the room, for you to inhale deep into your lungs. You might as well park a diesel-engined taxi in the room.
