There were no items in the package that were missing or damaged. A few wisps of smoke appeared, but once it got going, I didn't see any. The smell was good. For those that don't have any incense holders, you can use rice or sand in a small cup/bowl.
"It does smell like Matcha/tea but I wish it could be a bit stronger so I could enjoy matcha smell from far. As the scent is mild so I usually double or triple them up for burning together. Overall great incense sticks & lasts longer. I wish they provide a holder so I do not have to run to IKEA to find one."
"Scent is pretty good - bright, but not overly strong and is a really nice matcha. My only thing is I found the smoke wasn't super smooth - not a dealbreaker for me, but could be for some other people so I wanted to note it."
