RWV Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Ok, so my absolute favorite straight cinnamon for candles was from Tennessee, second was Steve’s at the Candlemaker’s Store. I tried burnin’ love cinnamon years ago from Bluegrass (now at RE/AH); although a nice scent I got wick clogging no matter which wicks, and when I cut back on the scent to solve the wick problem, it just wasn’t’t strong enough. So, here’s what I’m looking for—no fruity/woodsy/citrus blends, not sweet like red hots (although that would be fine if it’s not too sweet), but a really good straight up cinnamon with excellent throw at a low enough percentage to avoid the wick clogging issue. (I’m not asking for much, right?). Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daisymay66 Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 I hope you get some recommendations. I love Cinnamon but have the same problem as you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faerywren Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 I have an old bottle of Cinnamon Stick from WSP that is a nice single note cinnamon. It looks like they don't see one with that name anymore, but they do have a plain Cinnamon FO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bugtussle Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 BCN has the only cinnamon I use. Called Red Hot Cinnamon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandy511 Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Bumping this..... I’m also having a horrible time with cinnamon. Do you use soy or parasoy Bugtussle? If you don’t mind my asking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 My fav cinnamon is Cinnamon Broom from FB. Its a red hot cinnamon type with out all the candy sweetness. Just super hot cinnamon. Reminds me of those cinnamon pine cones the local grocer's sell when you walk into the store and get a big whiff of strong cinnamon. It stays strong in wax too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*Dee* Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 I always used NG cinnamon red hot. It was a best seller for me. It was exactly like a atomic fireball. Very little sweetness but a whole lot of nose burning hot cinnamon. Unfortunately after a not so fun night of drinking a bottle of aftershock to myself and paying a dear price I can no longer smell cinnamon without water rising in my throat. Which sucks cuz cinnamon was always my favorite gum/candy. 😂 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darbla Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 Can we talk about cinnamon again? Get some more suggestions discussed? I'm using the same cinnamon that @*Dee* mentioned but I literally have zero experience with any other cinnamon so I'm not sure what's better out there. It's pretty dang good, and not as candy-sweet as I at first thought it would be, but are there others even better? I, obviously, did not have the fun night with cinnamon that Dee did, so I'm still OK having it around. And Fireball is probably my favorite thing in the world to mix with apple cider this time of year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coffeebean Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 I too a, trying to find a cinnamon to replace TCS cinnamon stick. I will soon be out and the only one I found that compares is Keystones Red Hot Cinnamon. Now you have me curious about BCN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marleigha Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Definitely interested to see what everyone says about cinnamon FO’s. The only plain cinnamon FO’s I have are CS & NG. I prefer the one from NG. Oh I forgot I also have CS Cinnamon Red Hots. Would love a Cinnamon that is Sweet and strong! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belinda Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 I've recently poured Cinnamon from Peak (now Keystone) and it's a good cinnamon. I also like cinnamon broom from FB a lot. Also, Cinnamon crunch cake from JS is really good and strong. I don't get bakery notes that much but it does have a lot of cinnamon. I also have cinnamon red hots from NG and I think cinnamon from Cajun and some from CS. I guess I need to compare! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darbla Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 (edited) Do any of you know some skin-safe cinnamons? I just looked at the one I have and it's not. I want it to mix with some French vanilla and get something sweetly Christmasy. Edited December 1, 2019 by Darbla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I've used hers but some of her other FO's didn't seem to throw for me. I do love her Cinnamon crunch cake though. I've seen several talk about her pumpkin pie spice but it wouldn't throw for me either. I'm not sure what i"m doing wrong. Did you get your other cinnamon in?
