In the spirit of Honest Abe, we need to level with you about a few things. - We don't actually know what Abraham Lincoln smelled like. We sort of assume that everyone in 19th Century America smelled like stale wool, coal smoke, & armpits, but we didn't want the candle to smell like that. So instead, it smells how we imagine a frontier log cabin did: seasoned logs, woodsmoke, & a little mustiness. - You could probably save a lot of money by making your own Lincoln-scented candle at home. Because, believe it or not, wax is pretty cheap. You probably CAN afford that wax house you've been dreaming about. - When we say our candles are a soy wax blend, people probably assume we're blending soy wax with gold dust, or powdered diamonds. But we're just blending it with other kinds of wax. (Not ear wax.) - Candlemaking is hot work, & there is a 50/50 chance that when we poured this candle we weren't wearing pants. - We also wanted to be honest with you that we're including the phrase History Buff in this description for search optimization purposes. Ditto with the phrases Civil War, Presidential Gift, & Gift for Dad. Sorry, that's just the kind of algorithm-dominated world we live in. Someone as efficient & elegant with words as Lincoln would have hated it. - NOTE: Matches are not included. You will have to somehow acquire your own matches. - If you've read this far, you might as well take it a step further & follow us on Instagram. You probably won't regret it!
