Yehuda 3 Hour White Sabbath Candles, 72 ct

I read the reviews before buying these candles and saw a lot of people saying that these candles only lasted about two hours. Great, thought I. I have cats and can't leave the candles unattended. I can't blow out a candle once it's been blessed. So a two hour candle is perfect. The candles arrived and I set them up and trimmed the wicks in preparation of shabbat. The box *did* open in transit, but all the candles were there. The seller should consider taping the box shut. Thanks to CoVid-19, shabbat services were over zoom tonight, so I lit my candles at 7:15 with the rest of the congregation. As I write this, it is 11:36 pm. One of the candles just sputtered out finally and the other is still burning merrily away. I'm pretty sure G-d is sending me a message. I'm pretty sure it's Channukah in March, because these candles have lasted more than double what they were supposed to and the second candle is where the first one was an hour ago in terms of 'is it going to go out soon'. If you want a long-lasting light, pick these. They didn't drip and they last just as long as G-d wills. Which is longer than 3 hours. A lot longer. I'm tired and want to go to bed.

I tested the burn time. Yes, they lasted almost to the dot--3 hours. When you first light them, the long string will burn quick and then it will go out in about 5 seconds. You need to relite the candles and make some of the wax melt with your match so the string is exposed. Then it will burn with a higher flame that won't go out. I wish they weren't as expensive as they are, but they are good candles. My vintage candelabra has larger holders, so I had to drip some of each candle's hot wax on the bottom of the holders to stick each candle in so they wouldn't fall over. That worked out good. They stayed stuck to the bottom and straight up. Now I am ready for SHTF.

Great product

These Shabbos candles are very nice. They light and stay lit, unlike some I've bought that go out. They last over 3 hours.

I would say these are probably closer to 2 - 2.5 hours than three, but plenty long enough for us. I wish they burned evenly but they do not. However, they are good quality and serve their purpose well. They burn well if unevenly (one will always seem to last longer than the other, even when they are the same exact height). This is more an issue of my compulsiveness than a problem, however.

I thought they would be a tad bigger than they were, but that was an overestimation on my part. They arrived punctually and were in excellent condition when they did, beyond that they burn beautifully and have graced me every Friday. I would, however, recommend if you have larger candlesticks that you also grab some of the convenient disposable holders. These candles burn very cleanly, but it'll take care of what little drip they can have and they help the candles better fit the holders. If you have smaller candlesticks, then I am absolutely certain you'll enjoy these especially given their value!

Exactly what I expected, beautiful kosher Sabbeth candles!

Love that I can get my Shabbat candles on Amazon. Sometimes these wicks are a little tricky and need to be checked before lighting or the match needs to be held to the wick a minute- depends on the batch.

Excellent

Shabbat candles, exactly as advertised Easy transaction All good

Good product a little pricey

these candles are very inconsistent in quality. wicks are different lengths. these candles leave a mess inside and outside of the holder. i would like to know the origin of these candles. always a surprise to see what happens.

Might be a bad batch but I bought 3 Boxes and 1/3 of all the Candles burned from start to finish within 5 minutes while the rest burned over 2 hours. The Candles that burned very fast had high flames and ended up in a puddle of wax within 5 minutes. Am not buying that brand again.
