Metallic Pearl/Sapphire - Chanukah Chanukah Taper Candles - 45/box

These Creative Candles are in a league of their own as Chanukah candles go; and they’re premium priced accordingly. However, I purchased a box in 2022 that was labeled ‘3/8 x 6’ and the candles were a perfect fit for a Georg Jensen menorah. The box of candles I just received for the 2023 holiday, also labeled ‘3/8 x 6,’ are considerably fatter and require quite a bit of whittling down before the base of the candles will fit in the same menorah.

I’ve docked one star to reflect the unpredictable sizing. Putting that issue aside, these are head and shoulders above the run of the mill Chanukah candles you will find elsewhere. They burn brightly for an hour or more, will not drip, do not smoke and look like elegant tapers for the dining table — not like the multicolored birthday candle-style Chanukah candles you typically find.

They are small candles, and, for the goyim, would be great candles to put on a birthday cake. They are going to be good for emergency candles, which is why I got them, or for meditation candles, since they won't bother me with smoke and with scent.
