50+ Total Burn Hours • Made in USA
Scent notes: Weathered leather from colonial boots, ripped parchment bearing unconstitutional demands, and a defiant trace of smoke from receipts set ablaze.
Backstory:
Unconstitutional taxation has always met the same response. When power reached into pockets without consent, Americans gathered by candlelight, read the fine print, and chose refusal. Laws meant to justify theft were torn apart. Receipts were burned. Cargo was thrown into water while tyranny stood on the dock, demanding obedience it no longer had. Light this candle in the spirit of that rejection — and as a reminder that theft doesn’t become moral because it wears a seal.
“When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men, they create for themselves a legal system that authorizes it.”
— Frédéric Bastiat, Economic Sophisms (1848)
