Wowee! These are another great "find" from this site. This is a great candle company.
I ordered several of the smallest jar candles and they scent my entire living space! They do exactly what is stated on the site. Strong scent in my bedroom, subtle scent in the larger living area. All the candles are double wicked, and they burn amazingly clean and to the edge. The scent descriptions are right on. She has a great selection of bakery scents (which are my favorite!), and a decent selection of other scents as well.
Shipping was quick and she used the flat rate USPS box so it was reasonable. The order was well packed and arrived in tact. I will order from them again and soon!

I ordered 4 candles from Spotted Hog. Egg Nog, Vanilla Cinnamon, Harvest and Orange Creme Cake. They come in really cute jelly jars with Raffia and cute labels. The scent throw is unbelievable from these candles! I brought the Egg Nog to work and it scented the entire office! From the front door to the back....and it is pretty big! The cinnamon vanilla and orange creme did the same at my house. They all smell great and seem to be burning smoothly. I will definetly purchase more. Oh and the customer service is FAST and FRIENDLY!!!!
***2/28/06 UPDATE*** I have since placed 2 more orders with Spotted Hog. My second order was a Banana Nut Bread, Granny's Pie Crust and a Cinnamon Banana Twist. The BNB and Granny's Pie Crust were great! The Granny's Pie Crust was my new favorite candle...it was really awesome, I thought it was probaly the best bakery scent I ever smelled!! They forgot to pack the Cinnamon Banana Twist but they did refund my money for it.
On my Third order I was not quite so pleased. I ordered the 16oz jar candles in Banana Nut Bread, Granny's Pie Crust (and I was looking sooooooo forward to this one) and Grandma's Kitchen. The Banana Nut bread seemed to be pretty good again, this is one of my all time favorite scents and I did enjoy this candle. But I was very dissapointed in the other scents. The Granny's Pie Crust seemed to have a chemical scent to it, I just threw it away after many attempts to burn it. I was so upset about this as it was so awesome the first time I ordered it. And the Grandma's Kitchen scent was fine, but it would not burn! The wick would burn out after only a few minutes. I scooped out some wax from the top several times but this just kept happening...so I ended up just tossing that one as well. They also again forgot one of my candles. They did ship it later with some cheesecake tarts added for the error.
So as it seems with alot of these candle companies...there must be some good batches and some bad batches, this makes me very leary of ordering and it is very frustrating when you are paying shipping charges also!!!!
***3/1/06 UPDATE***After posting this review I got an email from Tarrah at The Spotted Hog, she was very concerned about my complaints. This is obviously someone who really cares about her customers and her products!!! I do feel it is unfair to give someone a poor review when sometimes things happen that are out of your control, like one of my candles not staying lit, could have just been a bad wick, and this is not Tarrahs fault!!! I also wanted to clarify that I was not pinpointing The Spotted Hog for shipping, they have decent shipping rates, a flat rate of $8.50, just saying it can be frustrating not getting what you think you are getting with some of these candle companies when you are paying shipping rates also!!! But I will surely give Spotted Hog another chance. It is obvious they stand behind their product and want happy customers!

This is the needle in the haystack. I've ordered numerous candles from numerous companys and this is by far the best. I ordered 5 double wick 16oz candles just to get a feel for the company. Ordering was simple and you get to pick your own color. I let them choose the color this time around. The candles arrived quickly, in a matter of days and we fired up the coconut and the scent throw was everything they said it would be. A nice change from our point of view. The candles have been burning evenly with no smoke what so ever. Great service and outstanding candles. I would be a mistake not to try this company out.

I ordered two 16 oz. jar candles. They arrived quickly and were well packed. They burn well, leaving no wax on the sides of the jars. The two wicks "mushroom" and burn with no smoke. A deep pool of melted wax forms.

I purchased 4 16oz candles, lemon cream, mixed berry crumble, ginger fig and blackberry pie. I was thrilled with every one of them. I put the Ginger Fig in my bedroom and it is such a pleasant aroma to relax with, it fills my entire room and hallway. The blackberry pie, I have to say is now my absolute favorite candle ever!!!! It smells sooooo good and the throw is amazing, you can smell it through out my entire downstairs. Lemon cream and mixed berry crumble are also wonderful, it really does smell like your baking with these burning.
I will definitely reorder from here again and again. They are without doubt the best candles I ever had.
