Twenty sticks to a pack, each burning for approximately twenty-five minutes, made without artificial dyes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eCedar is the driest of the common incense woods, and that is what makes it worth having alongside sandalwood rather than instead of it. Sandalwood is creamy and faintly sweet; cedar is warm but sharp at the edges, much closer to the smell of fresh-cut timber than to anything soft or devotional.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThe practical effect is a room that feels settled rather than perfumed. Cedar does not announce itself the way a floral does, and it does not sit in the back of your throat the way a heavy resin can. It is a fragrance you stop noticing and then miss when it is gone, which is a harder thing for an incense to achieve than simply being strong. Most sticks insist on themselves; cedar is content to be furniture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eA low-smoke build suits it particularly well. Cedar's dryness is easily flattened under a dense smoke, which is exactly what a heavy masala stick would do to it. Here the wood reads clearly the whole way through.

Long enough to establish itself across an ordinary room, short enough that it does not become the only thing anyone can smell by the end of an evening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eNo holder comes in the pack, so have a fire-safe dish ready before lighting, on a stable, non-flammable surface, and burn in a well-ventilated room.
