A SCENT of NOSTALGIA
Black Hills Candle Company
Black Hills Candle Company began with Pamela Price and her husband Patrick wanting beautiful, safe candles that capture the feeling of the Black Hills. The couple couldn't find what they were looking for, so they started doing it themselves. “We began hand-pouring candles in our log cabin, experimenting with cleaner waxes, safer fragrance oils, and designs that felt like keepsakes, rather than throwaway décor,” said Pamela. Pamela and Patrick’s passion project turned into a business, as locals, tourists, and friends continued asking for more. “As of 2026, every component of our candles is 100% American-made and sourced—from wax and fragrance, to wicks and jars,” added Pamela. Their new downtown Custer location opened in May of 2025. Pamela says they’re excited for the next tourism season, fully ready to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the United States, championing their USA-made products. “All of our jars are engraved to feel like mini fireplaces, and are designed to be beautiful keepsakes long after the wax has been used up,” added Pamela.
