I've tried incense on and off over the years and most Indian fragrances are too flowery. I tried this incense and loved it. Makes your room smell like you've got a wood stove without being overpowering. The only down-side to these little bricks is that they're a little rough to get lit. I'd suggest a mini-torch lighter for quicker lighting.
 Woodsy Smell......Fast, Smokey Burn November 2, 2009

If you're someone that is familiar with incense, you will definitely find this kind to be a little different. This red ceder scented incense is part of a line of wood based blends that include balsam and mesquite, among others. They are a little more loosely packed then sweeter traditional incense you may be used too, and emit a much smokier, fire burning smell than oil based blends. It's my opinion that if you are used to the usual swirls that emit from cone incense, you may just find this to be a bit overwhelming. If however, you feel the extra smoke won't bother you, you may also find this and the other wood based incense to promote a very warm and cozy atmosphere of a burning fireplace. It will fill your room with a delightful ceder wood aroma to be sure. The looser base of these blends make for a much faster burning experience than your average cone, or stick incense. My average per brick is about 20 minutes and its done. The return however is that the extra smoky blend makes for a longer lasting scent in the aftermath.
I have not found these, or any of the others in this line, to be any harder to light than any other kind of incense. And with all due respect to the other reviewer here that stated they do not stand up easily, I have had no problems with mine in that area. I would prefer a traditional cone over the little brick design that these are, but they are still very manageable. If your an incense enthusiast, I would definitely recommend at least trying this old fashioned ceder blend. Perhaps picking up a small box as part of a free shipping package just to try them out...
 Not Cone Shaped, Burns Too Quickly.. April 5, 2009

The scent is fantastic and I've received many compliments when I burn these, but there are some issues with them. First of all, they're in little bricks and aren't cone shaped; that means they don't stand up on their own and you have to use tinfoil to keep them upright. They also burn way, way too fast.
 Disappointed.... July 30, 2010

I read the reviews, so didn't worry when I ordered the incense. I should have. To the contrary of the reviews that mention "burns too quickly", I could barely keep the incense lit at all. All 3 of the blocks I burned had to be re-lit many times. I've burnt cedar wood incense for years and have never had a problem, so was quite disappointed. Shipping was also very high for this item so scrapped the whole box in lieu of complaining to the vendor/manufacturer.
