The Manly Man Candle Company You want your apartment to smell nice but every scented product on the market has this girly lavender-verbena thing going on. Until now. Light up a cigar, ramp up the testosterone, and kick back with a Manly Man Candle!

Ha, that's cool. Wonder how close the smells come....

Phew! That's a relief. I thought the scents would be "Curry Farts", "Stinky Socks", "Sweaty Bollocks", etc.

Or are the candles designed to mask those smells?

I'd put my money on the uncomplicated ones like "Leather" and that cedar one.

"Grandma's cooking" probably doesn't even come close.

Naw. Those odors are part of our charm.

If "Grandma's cooking" smells like tamales, I might never leave my house.

If I hadn't recently gone on a candle spree at Pier One, I'd give these a shot, as long as the shipping isn't outrageous (the estimator is being glitchy with Canadian destinations).

They actually say 'Manly Man Candle Company' on the package? Doesn't that kinda ruin the effect, like a 'biker' teddy bear or something?

God, I hate scented candles. Any trip to places like Pottery Barn or Bed, Bath and Beyond that sell those damn things gives me horrible sneezing fits.

I think I would prefer to let the cigar smoke create an alluring scent of its own as it settles into the upholstry.
