Stamford Black Incense 144, Set of 12 Sample Cones (Mixed Box), One Size

A generous 5 stars because the scents are actually vey nice. They are all pretty much the same although they have a myriad of different names. We had a very nice weekend experience of comparing them all, but that it my conclusion. Value for money though - can't be beaten. What a lot for so little money. 10/10. They are low in resin so burnt extremely fast but do scent a room 5x5 metres pretty quickly. I can't fault them. They're nice but not thrilling. Would buy again and have, in fact opened all the packs and mixed them up in a jar - mostly 'cos it's recycling day tomorrow and wanted to be rid of the boxes. Light any one and you will be happy with he result.

Great smelling cones, good burn, easy to light. Every time I order this box there are new cones to try out and they're always amazing. Price is a steal for what you get from them. Offers your room or house a great mood, nice for relaxation. I've attached pictures of the box along with a new scent included, 'Moon Angel'. Beautiful scent btw. These cones are not backflow cones, the smoke rises from the tip of the burn, so buy accordingly to the stand you burn the incense on. If you're just getting into incense, avoid the faffing around and just grab these and a simple stand to burn on, you won't be disappointed. Overall, best cones you can buy, from the best company to buy from. I know small business sometimes grab these to burn in their shops, I wish I had a shop of my own to burn these in, I'd probably be full to the brim of customers from the scent of these alone. Greatly recommend.

Never buy any other insence cones. They all smell amazing

I have just started to burn incense, loving the childhood memories it brings back to me. I have used a few varieties of Stamford incense sticks (Dragon’s Blood being my favourite so far), but I wanted to try the cones as well. Seeing as these were at a good price for this selection box I went ahead and purchased them for my pyramid incense burner. I got twelve boxes of 12 cones, one box of each scent. I love the mystical names of them, such as Dragon’s Fire, Werewolf’s Bite, Pixie’s Dance, and my favourite name – Goblin’s Lair. As I type this, I have lit one of the Goblin’s Lair cones and it’s burning away behind me. The first thing I noticed was how smoky they are; they give off a lot more smoke than the sticks do. I have attached a couple of pictures to this review so that you can see for yourself. I was a bit alarmed by the amount of smoke and I opened the lid of the burner a couple of times just to check that it was actually the wooden burner itself smouldering. But no, it was just the cone. I guess that the cones have more surface area to burn than the sticks, due to their shape, so perhaps that is why there is more smoke. I also got a little concerned that it would set off my smoke detector, so I turned that off whilst burning the cone. Saying that though, it didn’t fill the room with smoke as it seems to disperse quickly, so it probably wouldn’t have set it off. The cone lasted for about 15 minutes. When I opened the box that the 12 boxes came in it smelt like a box of soap, and that’s probably the best way I can describe the scents of these cones – soapy. Not the traditional “joss stick” incense smell I get with the Dragon’s Blood stick. I liked the scent of Goblin’s Lair as it burned. The description states it’s a cinnamon scent, but I couldn’t detect it as that. I notice that Stamford sell Dragon’s Blood cones so I may get some of them next, but I will certainly use these incense cones; I’ll probably use them in the bathroom if they all have that soapy smell. I am not disappointed in these cones, they are really good and seem to be of a good quality – though, if I am honest, I am not sure how to tell a good quality cones from a poor quality one. I have read reports on the internet that suggest that burning incense cones may be injurious to health. I do find that I get a dry throat when burning in cense cones and sticks, so I always make sure I have a glass of water to hand when burning them.

Gorgeous variety of fragrances and sized cones

I have previously used Stamford incense sticks and enjoyed them, so when I was looking for cones I thought I'd stick with what I knew. I was originally looking for backflow cones, which these are NOT. I have heard that you can turn them into backflow cones by drilling a small hole through the bottom, but I haven't tried this, so if you're looking for backflow cones then these are not right for you. With that said, I'm immensely happy with these. It arrives in a retail display box, with 12 individual boxes of different scents. Inside the boxes they're all contained within a small plastic bag which helps with the longevity of the scent. Each box has an interesting name and a short description. The only thing I don't like is that a couple of the boxes don't mention specific scents to expect. For example the scent called "Wizard's Spell" lets you know that it contains Patchouli, however some of the boxes do not have such information. I'm sure I could find this somewhere, but it would have been nice to have it on the box for easy reference. Most of the smells are lovely, one or two of them I'm not keen on but that's all down to personal preference. By getting the variety pack you're almost certain to find one you like. These do smell stronger than incense sticks to me, and they burn for about 20 minutes or so. The scent will linger for a while, which is exactly what I want it to do. I did find that when lighting them, they burned for a few seconds and then the flame extinguished itself, however it still left me with the glowing burn that I needed. All in all I'm very happy with this product, and especially for the sheer value of getting 144 cones for this price, I'll certainly be looking to this product when it comes time to reorder.

Good value for money but sadly not keen on the smells and all are very similar to each other. Good burn time etc just not for me

Love these cones, great variety in the pack, they burn well and last a decent length of time, the smoke is not overpowering and good value for the amount in the packs. Well presented in the boxes and my favourite cones.

Los conos de incienso son de muy buena calidad. Me encanta la variedad que hay y la presentación de cada uno de los olores. Muy original. Y el olor perdura mucho después de haberse quemado el cono del todo. Y a este precio... de lo mejor que he podido encontrar.

Die besten Räucherkegel, die ich je ausprobiert habe. Die meisten Gerüche sind vielleicht etwas ähnlich, denn alle riechen wirklich irre gut; und die Einen noch mehr als Andere. Einige haben einen beinah seifigen Geruch, teilweise echt irre. Ich find ie klasse und die Namen sind auch cool. Nicht das das eine Rolle spielt. In jedem Fall eine Kaufempfehlung. Schade, dass es die nicht auch als Rücklusskegel gibt...

Conforme à la description

Che dire, sicuramente a breve farò un altro carico di questi coni a dir poco fantastici 🧚🏻‍♀️ (Anche se sono arrivati oggi🙄😁😂) Sono solita farmi gli incensi da sola utilizzando erbe e resine di alta qualità, ogni tanto però mi piace accendere qualcuno comprato... Non ero molto fan dei coni, le fragranze molto spesso non mi piacevano, con questi mi sono ricreduta 🤩 Un profumo inebriante con note floreali, delicato e piacevole. La durata all'incirca è di un quarto d'ora, il profumo una volta finito il cono resiste a lungo🌬️ Ringrazio per questo prodotto meraviglioso,conveniente e completo. COMPLIMENTI ANCHE PER I NOMI FANTASTICI, fanno venire voglia di essere provati uno dopo l'altro 🧙🏻‍♀️🖤🌙

Mi sono piaciuti molto ottimo profumo senza piombo e metalli. Quindi ottimi. Consiglio l'acquisto
