Thunder Strike Candles

Forget the skinny little Roman Candles you remember from the 80s. Thunder Strike Candles are Gemstone's heavy-bore three-pack, 1.3G classification, 24 shots across the set.

Each candle fires eight rounds in sequence with a hard launch thump, a long coloured tail tracing up, then a proper crack at the top. Mostly reds and golds with silver crackling chrysanthemums on the heavier breaks. Loud enough that the neighbours notice.

Gemstone's pack pricing puts this in the better-value end of the loud Roman Candles. Light each candle individually, plant the tubes firmly in damp ground or a candle holder, keep the spectator distance per the carton.
