On the eve of the new year, this pineapple shaped joss-stick was lit at around 4.00 p.m. At 1.30 p.m. on the third day of the new year, it was still burning and would most probably burn out by 4.00 p.m.
Interestingly, the 5 feet and 10 feet joss-sticks finished burning within a day or two while this short fat joss-stick of mine lasted for 3 days. Just like in the biblical story, David and Goliath - the normal sized David outlasted the Giant.
