First off, I would like everyone to know that even though it shows a long shipping window, 98% of orders get to you faster than that. Hickory Fireside is a wonderful strong fireside scent. Now hickory gives off a very strong aroma. Hello, my name is Jamie and I'm the owner of Wick Cabin Candles and would seriously like to thank you for checking this product out. I live in Toledo, Ohio and I handcraft and hand pour all my melts. I test every melt and if it does not throw scent for at least 15 hours, I will not sell it. Colors may vary slightly. Each clamshell (the plastic container the melts come in) has 6 1" x 1" cubes that totals 2.5 oz. Free sample with order. Get 2 samples when you buy 3 or more. NOW THIS IS IMPORTANT. THE BEST WARMERS ARE THE SMALLER CERAMIC ONES WITH A CHANDELIER BULB AS THE HEATING ELEMENT, ALONG WITH THE ONES THAT HAVE A CERAMIC HEATING PLATE BUT WITH THESE I RECOMMEND DITCHING THE DISH THAT THE MELTS GO IN AND USE A MELT LINER INSTEAD. The liners are sold here on Amazon and look like a cupcake liner. THE LARGE WARMERS THAT USE AN EDISON BULB AS THE HEATING ELEMENT GET TOO HOT AND WILL EVAPORATE THE SCENT WAY FASTER.
