Each box includes thirty matches and a burning pad for safe use. Each match burns for about 10 minutes, with a lingering scent that lasts 30 minutes or more. To light, gently strike near the tip and let the flame reach the incense stick before blowing it out and placing it on the pad. If a match breaks, carefully light the broken piece with a lighter and use both halves—though breakage is rare with proper handling. Perfect stocking stuffer. Made in Japan.
