What is the difference between Incense Sticks and Cones?
Incense cones are made from exactly the same ingredients as incense sticks. In the case of incense sticks, the paste is rolled around a small sliver of bamboo, and with cones the paste is rolled into a conical shape. Cones usually burn faster than incense sticks, as they are more compact, giving off their fragrance more intensely. Some people say incense cones have a more pure fragrance, as there is no bamboo sliver that burns. Many people prefer incense cones (also known as dhoop cones) to incense sticks for this reason, as there is no smoke from the bamboo stick to mix with and so dilute, the aroma of the incense. Generally speaking, cones give a greater volume of smoke in a shorter time, so providing a more concentrated fragrance.
