{"product_id":"cedar-bundle","title":"Cedar Bundle, 4 in","description":"\u003ch2\u003eGreen Smoke, Sweet and Heavy\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA hand-tied bundle of cedar, roughly 4 inches long, wrapped in cotton twine. Lit and blown out, it holds a steady ember and gives off a thick, sweet, resinous smoke with real weight to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCedar burns differently from sage. Where sage is dry and bitter and thins out fast, cedar is resinous and sweet and puts out considerably more smoke for the same size bundle. If you have used sage and found it too sharp, or found it burned out before you were finished, this is the one to reach for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant:\u003c\/strong\u003e cedar, \u003cem\u003e[CONFIRM BINOMIAL]\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e approximately 4 in long\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBinding:\u003c\/strong\u003e cotton twine\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSold:\u003c\/strong\u003e individually, one bundle\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReusable:\u003c\/strong\u003e yes, extinguish and relight across several sessions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eColor runs from bright green to deeper olive depending on the cut and how long it has cured.

Damp bundles will not hold an ember and can mold at the core where you cannot see it. Keep it out of a bathroom or anywhere that gets steam. Cedar holds its aroma well in storage; if a bundle stops smelling like anything, it has taken on moisture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSafety\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBurn only over a heat-safe dish, on a stable surface, away from flammable materials. Never leave a burning bundle unattended. Ventilate the room. Cedar produces more smoke than most bundles of its size, so give it more air than you think it needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo not burn near birds.\u003c\/strong\u003e Birds have respiratory systems that make smoke of any kind dangerous to them, well before it bothers anyone else in the room. Use caution around anyone with asthma or smoke sensitivity, and keep away from children and pets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNot for consumption.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Raven and Rogue","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51294657446131,"sku":null,"price":8.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0246\/5267\/7210\/files\/Cedar-Wands-2.jpg?v=1789437685","url":"https:\/\/ravenandrogue.com\/en-ca\/products\/cedar-bundle","provider":"Raven and Rogue","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
