Small-Batch Candles, Poured by Hand, Sent to Cincinnati

Hand-poured in small batches at 11 W. Main St., Frostburg, Maryland, and shipped USPS to Cincinnati, OH.

Hand-poured soy-blend candles, shipped from Frostburg, Maryland to Cincinnati, Ohio by USPS — typically 3 to 5 days, since the Ohio River valley sits just past our East Coast window. Cincinnati and Frostburg have a few things in common: brick, hills, and weather with opinions. Your Italianate rowhouses in Over-the-Rhine make up one of the largest collections of that architecture anywhere, and tall rooms with old plaster carry candlelight better than almost anything built since. The rhythm holds in a Hyde Park foursquare or a Northside cottage too — a humid valley summer, a gray that settles over the river from November to March, and two brief, excellent seasons in between that nobody takes for granted. A candle is a small correction to a long winter. Ours are $17 each, hand-poured inside the historic Hotel Gunter (est. 1897), part of a 668-SKU collection that runs from wax melts to dried flower bouquets. We are boxing it up on Main Street.

Three pours we'd send to Cincinnati

CashmereMusk and amber are built for the exact gray that hangs over the Ohio River from November through March. It makes an Over-the-Rhine apartment feel upholstered.

CampfireA city set on seven hills understands the appeal of woodsmoke drifting uphill. Cedar and char do for a Northside living room what the fire pit does for the backyard, minus the smoke in your coat.

CaramelBurnt sugar and vanilla suit a city with a serious bakery habit. It reads as warm and slightly indulgent, which is the correct register for a Hyde Park kitchen in February.

Pricing stays simple: every house candle is $17, packs are just the count times seventeen, and the full collection — 668 candles, melts, sprays, matches, and gifts — ships the same way. The shop has the lot, and gift cards arrive by email within the hour.

Questions from Cincinnati

How long does shipping to Cincinnati take?

Typically 3 to 5 days. We ship USPS from Frostburg, Maryland — western Maryland mountains, a state line and a river valley away — and Cincinnati falls in our middle-of-the-country window.

Where are these candles made?

Every candle is hand-poured in Frostburg, Maryland, at The Pour House Candle Bar & Lounge inside the historic Hotel Gunter (est. 1897). They are a soy blend, poured one at a time, and the house scents are $17 each.

What scent works best in an Over-the-Rhine apartment?

Cashmere is our first answer — musk and amber suit tall ceilings and old plaster, and it carries a big room without shouting. Campfire runs a close second once the river gray sets in for the winter.
