Some say that smell is the most astute of our senses. Certain scents conjure memories and mental images in a way that sights and sounds never could. Also, fire is cool, in a controlled environment. We decided to couple these ideas together with the candle connoisseur, the sultan of scents, the wizard of wax, local Philly candle-pouring legend Uncle Ron. Behold Vintage Sunburst, a combination of suede and smoke, evoking the memories of that hazy underground jazz club, the leather laden basement punk show, or the story-filled guitar strap stuffed in the case pocket of your vintage Martin. So, kill the lights, warm up that tube amp, light up your wooden wick Suede and Smoke candle, and riff some sweet soulful licks all night long.

Uncle Ron’s Candle Co. takes the candle craft to the next level. Uncle Ron’s is based in Port Richmond, a neighborhood in Philadelphia. Made with a soy wax blend, wooden wick and premium fragrances and essential oils, these small batch candles have a clean and long-lasting burn.

Candle Instructions

1. The wick is a little longer than needed, so on first burn, it will burn down to the proper level on its own. This is part of the fun.  You're having fun, right?
2. On the first burn, after the wick burns down it will extinguish. Clean off the charred parts of the wood and re-light it. At this point, the candle should stay lit with an intentionally low flame. Let it burn for about an hour to break it in. You don’t have to watch it the whole time, but we did.
3. Rinse and repeat. Before each use, knock off the charred end and enjoy the scent we’ve painstakingly crafted for you.
