AP Candles
Description
Seven Scents. One Candle Maker.
The AP Candles are made in the USA in collaboration with Northern Lights, a candlemaker with more than 45 years in the trade. The seven scents in the lineup take their names from the drink cabinet: Whiskey & Tobacco, Dark Rum & Oak, Bourbon & Spice, Absinthe & Black Fig, Blackberry Brandy, Whiskey Reserve, and Finger Lakes Merlot. Each one ships in a colored glass jar sized to the scent's character: amber for the whiskey, ink-green for the absinthe, cobalt for the blackberry, and burgundy for the merlot, all sealed with a natural cork lid and labeled with AP's mark.
Built to Burn
Each candle is 5oz (141g) and rated for up to 35 hours of burn time on a single cotton wick. The wick is natural cotton, which burns clean and consistently without the sooting or flaring that comes from synthetic cores. The glass jars are the reusable kind — straight-sided with a wide enough mouth to do something useful with once the wax is gone, as at least one reviewer has already noted.
The fragrance load is 10%, which sits at the higher end of the range for candles in this size class and means the scent throw is genuine rather than suggestive. The Whiskey & Tobacco fragrance is built from Kentucky whiskey, leafy tobacco, ginger, and crushed tonka bean. The other six scents follow the same approach: specific enough to be interesting, balanced enough to work in a room rather than just a marketing description.
For the Desk, the Shelf, or the Other Person
These candles find buyers in two ways. The first is the person who wants a candle that smells like something other than lavender or clean linen — specifically, something in the whiskey-oak-tobacco corner of the fragrance world where most mainstream candle brands don't spend much time.
The second is the gift buyer who needs something under $20 that looks considered and ships easily. The colored glass jars and AP label photograph well, the scents are distinct enough to feel like an actual choice was made, and the price leaves room to buy more than one. Several reviewers have noted buying multiple scents together. The bundle pricing on the product page exists for good reason.

Curious About Sizing?
Given the massive variety of clothing we carry, a standard sizing guide is incredibly helpful for customers seeking the best fit.
Please understand that surplus varies widely in fit and cut and this sizing chart is general advice rather than tailor-level fitting.
Nearly every military has different sizing charts and schemes, which is why we've taken the time to put together this brief tutorial.
Jacket & Shirt Sizing
In absence of an established military size chart, we measure each jacket or shirt from armpit to armpit to get a rough idea of how it fits. If a garment is between sizes, we mark it one size down. For example, if a shirt measures 19.75" from pit to pit, it is marked as a small rather than medium.
To measure pit to pit, close up your shirt or jacket and measure from armpit to armpit.
This is our measurement guide that we use to measure garments without an existing military size chart:
14"-15" PtP = XXS
16-17" PtP = Extra Small
18"-19" PtP = Small
20-21" PtP = Medium
22-23" PtP = Large
24-25" PtP = Extra Large
26-27" PtP = XXL
28-29" PtP = 3XL
Pant Sizing
We typically convert pants to US waist and inseam sizes. If a pair of pants is between sizes, we mark it one size down. For example, if a pair of pants measures as a 33 waist, it is marked as a 32 waist.
To take these measurements we lay a pair of pants flat on the ground. We then measure across the waist and double the measurement. For example, if a pair of pants measures 16" across the waist it will fit a US 32 waist.
To determine inseam we measure from the crotch seam to the bottom of the cuff. For example, it a pair of pants measures 30" from the crotch seam to the bottom of the cuff we will list it as a 30 inseam or 30L.
