USER REVIEW
"I can honestly say this candle tops the list of long-lasting candles. The first day I lit it and let it burn for hours (most of the day), I was astonished when I blew it out before bed and saw literally the same candle I lit hours earlier. It wasn't half full or one-third full. It was still a full candle! This is something you just don't see every day! Bravo, Mrs. Meyers!"
