Mexican Copal Incense, 4 Bags with 10 Sticks Each. Handmade in Mexico with Gray Copal Resin.

Just ordered for the fourth time as we are running low and don't want to be without it. The ever-so-slight difference in quality when compared to some of the much more expensive brands I've tried in the past is what makes this such a great value - in my personal opinion, anyway. Everyone I've gifted a stick or two to try out has also been quite pleased.If you are not familiar with copal, the scent is strong and soothing, and smells somewhat similar to frankincense (the trees the resin comes from are both in the Burseraceae family). If you encounter difficulties lighting the sticks and/or keeping them lit; it is necessary to keep a flame to the end until a definite ember forms, but that is the case with any resin-on-a stick types of incense, not just this brand. While lighting, it also helps to hold the stick horizontally over the plate or bowl you'll be using.I prefer to use an incense holder that keeps the stick upright and set it on a small plate, as this keeps the mess from ashes to a minimum. The plate in the uploaded image is about 9.5" in diameter; I did dump all the accumulated ashes from many burnings and wiped it clean first. Alternatively, a bowl can be used - just make sure that the stick is placed securely in a holder (or sand) and positioned so that all ashes will land in the bowl.

These are the best and by that I mean THE BEST BRAND Copal incense out thereI've bought other brands of copal incense and they are good but they are not as good as these ones the scent is strong and lasting they are my favorite this is my favorite brand out of all the ones on the marketI do have one word of warning for you because they are hand dipped when you lite them they will drip while you are lighting them so do it over the sink or the incense holder because whatever they drip on be it your skin your jeans your couch whatever it is it will burn a little hole but other than that they are THE ABSOLUTE BEST Copal incense on the market

This Copal is pure, no fillers or additives. Smells delicious and each stick lasts 1 hour, I normally move it around the house a few minutes at the time. It is truly amazing. I love it!

Didn't burn as I thought they would have compared to ones I purchased in Chapala Mexico.

Price was really great and the scent is real copal, but not very strong. If you don't want overpowering scent, this would be a good choice.

They were out for a while and started A new storefront. The copal from that store front came in two bags with 20 sticks in each bag and was terrible. They smelled like charcoal. The copal that comes in four bags of 10 from this store front doesn’t smell like charcoal and gives off a sweet woodsy delicious scent. I’ve tried 8 other resin stick copal brands and only one is better than Templo, but it costs a little over $2 a stick and lasts for a half hour longer per stick with a scent that is stronger and a tad bit sweeter. Templo upped their price by 30%, but IMO it’s still the best deal for resin stick copal on Amazon. If you love the sweet scent of real copal resin, you’ll love Templo Copal.

The scent reminds me of when we would travel to Tulum and they burnt copal on the beach to keep buds away they said. We use ours outside and enjoy the scent. I have not had trouble lighting it as I use a gas grill lighter and hold the stick upside down, it lights every time and last for at least an hour. The price is the best I've found so far, some will sell a little hanful of copal for $10.Will buy again:)

You may think these are expensive but they burn for over an hour and smell great, support this company these things are legit!

I got a real one from my Mexican friend. It smell great. I got this product and it Doesn’t smell like copal not even burn like copal. It leaves a fireplace like smell but not like sacred copal
