On Sale !! Stryker the Smoking Dragon Sculptural Incense Box

 (7 customer reviews)

So the first one I ordered, while being packaged VERY VERY well, arrived with some broken teeth. I told the seller and they 2 day shipped me a brand new one at no charge and said I can just toss the first. Second arrived with no damage. I guess they're packaged at the factory and the seller never opens them. I will note the second one had bubble wrap in the mouth, protecting the teeth, while the first one didn't. Happy to say I am completely satisfied with this purchase. Sure it's a lot of money for an incense holder, but come on, IT'S FRAKKING DRAGON WITH SMOKE COMING FROM IT'S MOUTH!!!! Haha, I think it's pretty cool and not only is it decoration but it serves a functional purpose; which is awesome. Never liked decoration just for the sake of decoration. I recommend this whole heartedly as long as you can afford it without taking out a loan or something.

The dragon head is great looking. Unfortunately the bin area where the incense goes is too short for the incense I buy from the local store. Probably only fits a special incense stick they sell themselves. The intention of the smoke going out the nose doesn't work, in fact if you do light the incense and put the top half over it it will snuff the flame after a short time. It seems to not have any air flow. Great paperweight/desk doodad, horrible incense holder.

My girlfriend bought one of these for me as a Christmas gift, and I absolutely love it! My only complaints about the item are that, as stated in other reviews, it's shorter than a standard stick-incense burner, so you will probably have to break your incense sticks at the stem in order to get them to fit. I actually have to cut or break the stem off with only enough to fit in the hole (giggity), AND cut off about half an inch to a full inch from the end before the stick fits inside the dragon's mouth (again, giggity.) And even then it is a tight fit (you see where I'm going with this. I'll stop now.) My other complaint would be that the airflow is not great, so the incense will not always stay lit. I've had to re-light the same stick up to four or five times to get it to burn all the way down.

Another detail which I don't consider a con, but should still be noted is that the smoke doesn't really come out of the dragon's nostrils. At least it doesn't come out of mine's...Read more
