Three Stars Safety Matches, 10 pack

These matches hold up like little professionals. We attached the little strike strips to a pretty container to keep my fireplace and these matches have not failed us yet. They don’t break. They have a slow burn that doesn’t consume the match quickly leaving you time to do your work. They are perfect and well worth the price. We highly recommend these matches of all things they make life a little easier.

These matches are GREAT! Lights on one strike. More expensive than the Diamond Greenlight, but totally worth it!!!

The basic matches you buy at stores here in the U.S. often break in half or take multiple strikes to light. These matches ignite so easily on the box it’s amazing! Definitely great quality!! And the box artwork is a fun and vintage style which makes it nice to leave out and not hide away in a drawer when needed. I’m even giving some as gifts to friends in care packages :)

No rocket science or special technique required here: I just strike the match and voila, a flame appears. One might think this is no special thing, but my mother bought some penny matches with the brand name Cavalier from a discount store called Jack's, and I HATED those things with a passion. About half of the matches in any box were too skinny and snapped; the others wouldn't light without several tries and most of the match head wearing off. I started holding two of them together at a time just to get a flame going, and even that didn't work sometimes. My mother said she had no problem with the matches and actually demonstrated for me HOW she held the matches and struck them to get them to light. Note to all the manufacturers of penny matches out there: striking a match should be an effortless action that requires no conscious thought and no demonstrations of “match-striking technique”. It should NOT be rocket science! As to whether these Swedish matches burn out quickly: yes, they do—IF I hold them horizontally, that is straight across. If, however, I light the match and then point the lit end downward, as if I’m going to light a lamp or candle, I have found that it burns nicely. I thought the Cavalier matches my mother had bought were Diamond brand, and so vowed to buy them never again. Since they’re not Diamond matches after all, I might try Diamond on my next go round. Overall, though, I am really happy with these Swedish matches. They work! If Diamond disappoints, I’ll be back!

These safety matches are a great option for reliable matches with a unique look. The matchheads have a distinct appearance compared to standard bright red ones, and the striking strips work consistently and last through the entire box, unlike some other brands. The smaller matchheads burn quickly, so they light fast but might not be ideal in windy conditions. All in all though, they are functional, effective, and come in a convenient and long lasting 10-pack. A solid choice for everyday use or to have some on-hand that doesn't take up a lot of space. Still highly recommended!

Good product

Consistently an excellent seller and highly recommended.

They are cute and they work well, but they came all jumbled in the package and most of the little boxes are damaged. Kind of disappointed. If they had come better packaged I would give 5 stars, it is good value. I was going to give them as part of gifts, but now I don’t think I can.
