Casa (Adobe House) Burner With Pinon Natural Wood Incense - Incienso De Santa Fe

Great product

This very cute abode incense burner is part of a line by Incienso De Danta Fe. They all have a southwest flavor to them, as opposed to the usual dragons, wizards, and unicorns that dominate other incense burner lines. In fact, it's the only line of its kind anywhere I have found, not just here on Amazon. They are all designed to burn either cone, or brick incense. No sticks.. Unlike the other burners in this line, this particular one is a little cheaper made. Or at least, not as well thought out. The others in the line ( a cabin, tee pee, oven, and ceremonial house) all have removable tops that fit squarely on the top of the burner base. This one for some reason has a smaller base, and is designed in such a way that it sits at an angle, as the picture shows. And, and unlike the others, it is easy to touch lightly and have it fall off its imprecise perch. This does not in any way make this burner unsafe or useless by any means, but it is just not as well thought out as the others in this line. One final thought, none of these burners are very big. About 3 inches long and a couple of inches or so high. For some reason, this one is also a little smaller than the others. You may want to keep this in mind if you are considering this for yourself, or a gift, and am having trouble deciding which one of the line to buy. Lastly, this burner, like all of them, come with a small batch of wood based incense in a brick design. I have left a full review of it in another post. But in a nutshell, its a very smoky, sorta fireplace scented incense as opposed to the oil based sweet incense more popularly found. This burner can burn any cone incense of course, and would make a handsome addition if you are collecting the entire line of burners. Like all the burners, it looks nice on a shelf or desk whether you burn incense or not...

I have a couple of these Santa Fe-produced incense burners as I am pretty into the whole Southwestern/indigenous culture thing, so this is a product that is likely not for everyone. But for those of us who are familiar with the smell of New Mexico towns in the evening during the fall and winter months, this brick-shaped incense comes about as close as it gets to recreating the smell of the burning piñon that permeates the streets, and the the burners prevent the incense from burning holes in your tabletops.

Get It, it's so cute. The incense bricks it comes with is alright but I got the cedar ones separately and those smell better.

Nice size Light weight Good quality
