All imperfect candles have some sort of cosmetic blemish or two. They still burn great! Each candle is labeled with our famous letterpress labels, wrapped in tissue and packaged in a plain brown box.

No returns or exchanges on these candles.

Southern Ports. Global Soul. Timeless Comfort.

Along the winding rivers and storied coastlines of the Deep South, ships once carried spices, citrus, and tobacco across oceans—bringing together worlds that were never meant to meet, yet blended perfectly.

Tobacco & Bay Leaf is a tribute to that unexpected harmony. Bright citrus top notes give way to soft florals, then settle into a grounding finish of cedar, sandalwood, and warm musk. The result is earthy, smooth, and nostalgic—like sun-warmed wood and old-world cologne, with a modern, clean edge.

A candle for quiet mornings, reading nooks, and spaces filled with character.

Crafted to Captivate. Poured with Purpose.

At Lodestone Candles, we believe a candle should do more than scent a room—it should stir something within you.

Each Lodestone candle is a tribute to memory, mood, and meaningful craft. Inspired by the timeless beauty of Maryland’s Eastern Shore, our candles transform everyday spaces into places of quiet elegance, escape, and story. Whether you're lighting one to unwind, to gift, or simply to savor, you'll discover more than fragrance—you'll discover feeling.

From the scent to the vessel, every detail is designed to be repurposed, remembered, and re-loved. Lodestone isn't just a candle. It's a keepsake. A ritual. A return to what matters.
