Ritual Incense Set

I have been watching this product for soooo long that I finally just did it and bought both the holder and the burner. Received it and the packaging is impressive. I loved both of the pieces when I opened them and have no regrets. One issue with the product is that the incense sticks were all broken at the same point. It was as if they had been hit sharply at one point and ALL of the sticks except maybe 8 were broken or partially-broken. So that was a bummer. Then I burned a stick and couldn't stop coughing and it turns out that... there's something in this black set that I am allergic to, and not in an insignificant fashion. So, in the end, the broken sticks are not that big of a dilemma. HAHA!! I put a different scent that I already have and now this is my new burning plate and holder. I love them both. I highly recommend it, but the two "issues" is why i will say that the SET "met expectations". The hardware is excellent and very clean and appropriate sizing for a small and inconspicuous setup.

I like the rectangular incense holder. Aluminum. Not sure what kind. Not sure if completely solid. I think it is mostly. There are 2 small holes at the bottom and one hole behind the main hole. I like the weight of it. Has a nice heft. The incense stick holder is significantly lighter in comparison. Too light. I expected it to be like 2-3x heavier. I don’t like the weight of it. The incense sticks I didn’t like either.

There are noticeable scratches on the incense vase that is sad, but I bought it primarily for the holder so that’s okey. The incense itself is just fine, not very impressive though.
