Tobacco and Candles
There’s a store in town that I keep meaning to go to, but I never seem to have any money to spend there when I think about it. It’s a tobacco outlet, but I don’t smoke and I’m not looking to buy anyone any Garcia Vega cigars. I want to buy some candles.
Yes, that’s right, candles. Tobacco and candles are a rather odd combination for a store to sell, but that’s what they specialize in. And they’ve got some really awesome candles in dozens of heavenly scents and every size you can imagine. Unlike those cheap discount store candles, they burn very evenly and throw out plenty of scent until they’re gone. They’re not cheap, but they’re worth every penny they cost.
I need to get some pillar candles for this set of large vintage candleholders my mom gave me. I’ve had them for a while, and I had some cheapo candles in them, but after burning them a few times they looked horrid. So they just sat there collecting dust, and removing dust from crappy candles is next to impossible. I ended up throwing those out, and my pretty candleholders look so lonely sitting there empty.
The next time I have some cash to spare, I’m going in and picking up a couple of nice scented pillars. And maybe a few votives while I’m at it. I firmly believe that you can never have too many candles.
