Small-Batch Candles, Poured by Hand, Sent to Pittsburgh
Hand-poured in small batches at 11 W. Main St., Frostburg, Maryland, and shipped USPS to Pittsburgh, PA.
Hand-poured soy-blend candles from The Pour House Candle Bar ship from Frostburg, Maryland to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in two to three days by USPS, and house scents are $17 each. Pittsburgh and Frostburg are practically neighbors — about two hours apart across the Laurel Highlands — so your candle spends less time in transit than most of your mail. It suits the city, too. Pittsburgh lives close to its weather: river fog in the mornings, gray ceilings from Thanksgiving to Easter, that one sharp October week when the hillsides go orange all at once. Homes here hold heat and history in equal measure — Lawrenceville rowhouses shoulder to shoulder, Squirrel Hill foursquares with real fireplaces, South Side Slopes houses stacked up the hillside like books on a shelf. A candle earns its keep in rooms like that. Ours are poured by hand inside the historic Hotel Gunter on Main Street, where guests make their own at the bar with a cocktail in hand, and everything in the 668-SKU collection — candles, wax melts, room sprays, warmers — boxes up and heads north.
The pours we'd pick for Pittsburgh
Pour House · House Signature — Bourbon, oak, and smoke in the region that helped invent American rye. It belongs on a Lawrenceville mantel the way a shot and a beer belong together.
Campfire — Woodsmoke, cedar, and char for a city of hillsides and fire pits — the indoor version of a cold night on a South Side Slopes deck.
Caramel — Burnt sugar and vanilla for the gray Sunday stretch between Thanksgiving and Easter, when the fog sits in the river valleys until noon and the kitchen is the warmest room in the house.
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.
Worth the drive from Pittsburgh
Frostburg sits about two hours south of Pittsburgh, down through the Laurel Highlands and into the western Maryland mountains, which puts the candle bar itself squarely inside Saturday-trip range. Starting July 17, 2026, you can pour your own candle at the bar inside the historic Hotel Gunter (est. 1897) at 11 W. Main St. — craft cocktail in one hand, pour pitcher in the other. The Flight is 3 Pours for $51 if you bring company, The Full Pour is 6 Pours for $102 if you bring more, and private parties and group nights handle whole carloads. The drive home smells considerably better than the drive down.
