This incense is wonderful. I have repurchased it many times now. The variety pack is really fun because of all the different types of scents it offers. I have a friend who was complaining because he couldn't find a scented candle that reminded him of his old log burning fireplace (long since replaced by a gas version)and I told him I had just the thing for him and promptly ordered this Seven Scent Sampler for his birthday. He was thrilled! He said it was JUST what he was looking for. He loves smelling that great scent of lovely evergreen, pinion pine, etc. while enjoying his gas fireplace. I have order this packet twice now for him as a repeat gift. These are really nice incense pellets that burn clean and SMELL GREAT! This company is also wonderful. The product comes VERY quickly and Tom always puts a little handwritten "thank you" in with the shipment. Very nice experience all around and I highly recommend his products. I will continue to buy from him. He has incredible variety in these great smelling incenses.

This smells just like having a fresh wood fire burning. Wonderful and not nearly as smokey as i expected. The smoke is that of having 2 normal stick based incense burning at a time.Best Deals for 7 SCENT SAMPLER - NATURAL WOODINCENSES WITH HOLDER AND FORTY NINE
Truly smells like the southwest. Burning wood smell is thick all winter in New Mexico.It's all natural, no perfumes, and if you love the smell of a wood burning fireplace, this smell exactly like it.
Honest reviews on 7 SCENT SAMPLER - NATURAL WOODINCENSES WITH HOLDER AND FORTY NINE
Great product. Highly Recommended.Research shows that aromas have a powerful effect on mood and we all know it's true. This product gives you a palette of seven different aromas that mentally transport you to the homey hearth, the mountain chalet, southwest pueblo, or backwoods campfire.
We agree with all the other positive comments except one. This kit contains more than the aromas of the southwest. It contains many like hickory and balsam fir that are smells familiar anywhere in the country.
This product produces authentic fireplace/campfire aromas. We've had many guests who thought we had our fireplace going, loved the aroma and have asked where they could get the incense themselves.
A FEW TIPS:
==========
[1] Put the incense on the provided clay stand before trying to light it and use it as a handle,
[2] We have found that votive and/or tea light candles are very helpful in lighting this and work much better than a match or lighter.
[3] We put a small dish or incense burner around the burning incense both for safety and to contain the ash.
[4] Amazon offers a variety of great incense burners that work well with this product. Here's one we like: Country Hearth Puppy Burner With Pinon Natural Wood Incense Incienso De Santa Fe at

[5] VOLUME DISCOUNT Like us you may find that you like a couple of the aromas better than others and/or you may find you burn these regularly. If so, look for the 100 brick single scent offerings by Incienso de Sante Fe. They are generally priced between $13.50 and $15.00 for 100 bricks which is a better deal than the mix of 49 bricks for $10 (i.e. ~25% discount/brick from $0.20 to $0.15.)

I normally used the sticks and wasn't sure how these "bricks" aka "cones" would work for me. I loved every single scent, the little bricks really seem to be concentrated with enough of their scent to cover my living room,dining room and kithcen area of my small apartment. I was sold, went through my 49 brick sampler and came back for more. The biggest problem I had was trying to decide which scent to start with I loved them all as the large packs are all one scent.I started with the pinon(a wonderful woodsy scent that just is definitive of the Southwest) and I love the way they make me feel like I'm back on the road in New Mexico. But I will definitely order some of the other 100 packs for some variety.
Bricks v Sticks The sticks are nice. They burn longer then the bricks and create compared with the bricks very little smoke. However, the smoke that the bricks create is not something that will make you feel choked out, it just streams out in basically one direction into the air. You can place the incense so that the smoke flows in a direction away from you if you want. But it really isn't a big stream think of the size of little more than a line of smoke coming from a cigarette just with a much pleasanter smell. Also,I did not find any soot anywhere.
Because the end of the sticks are sticking out further then then the bricks in their holders,the ashes seem to fall further out whereas the bricks just burn down straight onto the holder, You can just pick up the holder when the brick is completely out and cool and just dump the ash into trash(you may have to wipe some out with rag.) As I said the sticks do burn longer, but the scent doesn't seem as concentrated, so it is not as powerful and does not last as long.
Lighting The sticks don't take as long to fire up, as soon as the tip is red hot, just blow them out. The bricks take a little longer. You can place them in the holder and just hold a lighter to the end, or if you are real careful you can hold them between thumb and forefinger they are maybe a little over an inch long and hold the lighter over one end until you have a good flame that covers the entire tip if not they may go out. Then REAL carefully watch your fingers place upright in holder. Unlike the sticks, do not blow these out, the flame will go out on its own(in a few seconds). I use one of those long BIC lighters you might use for a fireplace, long candles or BBQ. The bricks burn down in about 15 20 minutes or so, but the scent lasts hours. Creates a wonderful ambience and is much nicer for covering up cooking smells like fish, then a choking spray of Lysol.
Lastly with both sticks and bricks, make sure they are on a flat surface away from any fire danger in case they were to tip over(this could happen here in an earthquake.) I burn my incense on a bar/counter top and put the holder on a thick flat glass large candle holder.
This sampler pack comes with a very small plain clay holder. The 100 packs(of single scents) come with a larger and more decorative clay holder than the sampler pack, and are a really good buy better then buying 100 sticks(unless you happen to be a a swap meet in Ponca City Oklahoma). I have ordered several times now from the seller that carries them here Incensio De Santa Fe(Tom's Incense), and highly recommend them. They arrived quickly and well packaged and as I said a very reasonable deal. and I am building quite a collection on the holders.
Enjoy the scents of the Southwest.....Laurie
