Classic Roman candles in a pack of 10, each containing 10 alternating luminous balls in violet, yellow, blue, green, and red.
Unlike most modern Roman candles, the outer and inner diameters are significantly larger, and the first shot typically achieves a considerable height. Furthermore, they contain five colors, just like the originals, instead of only red and green.
It's been almost six years since the first batch of these classic Roman candles arrived. I wanted to produce a new batch the following year, but unfortunately, the factory did a sloppy job, and the first shots, like almost all other Roman candles on the market, only traveled 1-2 meters. As a result, the product failed our quality control and would have had to be remade. However, the factory was angry and refused to produce for us again.
I then had to find a new factory, but unfortunately, the safety regulations for production have changed, meaning that only a very limited number of candles can be kept in the work area. Because we use five colors in rotation, this means we only use a few hundred grams per color, and during production, we constantly have to fetch new stars from storage and refill all the individual colors, which is too time-consuming.
As a result, we couldn't find a factory willing to produce Roman candles in this way for a long time. Most factories now just mix all the colors (usually only red and green) in one bucket, so the order in which the colors appear is pure chance. This isn't ideal, as you can get unlucky and, for example, fire the same color several times in a row, or a color might not be visible for ten shots, etc. Since the Chinese fireworks market is currently down, we finally found a factory willing to produce according to our specifications.
The result is quite good, and I think they are the best "normal" Roman candles on the market, with sufficient pressure even on the first shot. We were also able to improve the slow firing speed of the first batch, which had a burn time of approximately 22 seconds, to a more suitable 15 seconds.
The only drawback is that the colors themselves aren't of the highest quality and sometimes burn with a visible trail of combustion residue. However, this is simply because no reputable factory would produce such small items. This was also the case with the previous batch and has always been the case with these types of items.
Of course, there has been some inflation over the last six years, and as described above, production has become more labor-intensive, which has led to a corresponding increase in the price. Ultimately, though, you're still getting one of the few genuine Roman candles that are enjoyable to use, at an affordable price.
