Durham's Hand-Poured Candles, Shipped from Main Street
From our bar inside the historic Hotel Gunter to Durham, NC doorsteps — every candle hand-poured in Frostburg, Maryland.
The Pour House Candle Bar & Lounge ships hand-poured soy-blend candles from Frostburg, Maryland to Durham, North Carolina homes, and USPS gets them there in two to three days. Durham kept its brick. The tobacco warehouses downtown wear their history plainly, and the mill houses of Old West Durham have been holding up porches since Erwin Mills ran three shifts. Trinity Park lives under old oaks; Duke Park lives outside until the humidity has other ideas. Summer here is long and thick — by August the air barely moves — so the houses answer with ceiling fans, deep shade, and evenings that start late and end later. A candle suits that rhythm, whether it is burning on a Trinity Park mantel in January or a screened porch in July while the cicadas hold forth. Our six house scents run $17 apiece, and the full collection — 668 items spanning candles, wax melts, room sprays, warmers, matches, dried flower bouquets, and greeting cards — leaves the same way everything does here: boxed up on Main Street, headed south.
Three pours we'd send to Durham
Pour House · House Signature — Bourbon, oak, and smoke belong in a city of brick tobacco warehouses; it burns the way the American Tobacco Campus looks.
Caramel — Burnt sugar and vanilla for a food town that takes dessert seriously — it reads like the last course of a Ninth Street evening.
Fresh Linen — Cotton and green, a quiet nod to the Erwin Mills history in Old West Durham — and the cleanest thing you can do for a humid August.
Any single pour is $17. Take the whole flight — three pours for $51, or all six for $102 — or wander the 668-item collection of candles, wax melts, and gifts in the shop. For the Durham friend who chooses their own scents, gift cards arrive by email within the hour.
