Hi Tawlia,
I wanted to tell you about an experience I had not that long ago
and your
Beeswax Candles become the focus of attention.
Here is how my story unfolds.
I live in a two-bedroom apartment here in Ottawa. I enjoy a
scotch accompanied by a good cigar. This is usually the
exception and not the rule but when I get that craving I like to
enjoy.
On one occasion last winter I decided to indulge. I always open
more than
one window but on this occasion the temperature outside was just
too cold. However, I decided to light up anyway with the windows
closed.
Now, no one hates the smell of an old cigar more than me. I
should mention that you had briefed me on all the positive
aspects of burning a
Beeswax Candle versus a regular petroleum one. Of course, it was
information overload with the exception of something you said
about pollutants being charged with one type of ion and the
Beeswax Candle burning with the other (we are talking negative
vs. positive ions). I have one burning (Beeswax Candle) as
my experience unfolds.
So the stage is set. It is the dead of winter and darkness has
long since taken over the day. I have had a steak dinner and now
I want to enjoy my scotch and a cigar but I can't open the
windows. Not to be deprived of my enjoyment I light up anyway. I
will forego the details of the scotch and cigar. Needless to say
I light up with the windows closed. The only preemptive action I
was able to take was close all none essential doors (bathrooms,
bedrooms) leaving my kitchen, dinning room and living room
exposed to the cloud that was about to be generated in my living
space. I will add this, I rated this cigar in a sub category of
smoking time. It was a 90 minute smoke and an enjoyable one at
that. Now can you see this. I light up and my living space which
slowly but surly settles into a dense cloud generated by my
cigar. I think even my scotch glass clouded over. The smoke hung
in my living room in layers and that is a lot of smoke!! After
enjoying my scotch and a second one to help finish the cigar, I
notice I really had difficultly navigating my living room and it
wasn't because of the two drinks, but because of the cigar
smoke. I can't emphasize enough the density of the smoke
unacceptable even to me. Not as bad as to create navigation
problems, but the smoke really hung in layers in the living
room.
Now, as I mentioned in passing, I did have a Beeswax candle
burning at the time and for no other reason then, like that
mountain, ‘if it is there, climb it’. So the candle was
there and I lit it. I want to stress not for any expected
benefit or intent I might derive from the candle.
I
must say I was astonished! I don't think it took 30 minutes for
that candle to eliminate the smoke in my apartment. It was
astonishing. Even at this point I was a skeptic and decided to
leave my apartment but only briefly to see if in fact the smoke
was really gone. Upon returning from an environment of a
different air quality I could not positively say someone had
just recently smoked a cigar in this closed apartment
environment. The air was clear and I assume fresh. Certainly I
could not detect any noticeable smoke or odour. I was impressed
and I can only attribute this condition to the fact I was
burning your Beeswax Candle.
So, I have taken the time to relate this incident to you because
I was truly impressed with the benefits of your Beeswax Candles
and I am now a firm supporter and can't envision ever using
anything else besides a Beeswax Candle for all of my air
freshening and purification needs.
My thanks to our chance meeting at the craft show in Ottawa and
I will be forever a supporter of your candles and the healthy
breathing environment they promote.
Thanks again
Mike
Ottawa,
On.
