White-tipped (no red at all) matches

[WilliamIam]

Howdy folks. I bought a few cigars at a shop, and a bit of pipe tobacco. I was given a little box with 5 or so matches in it. They're fantastic. They light easily and quickly, and I don't remember smelling sulfur from them.
The box is unmarked - the only distinguishing feature of the matches are the tips - they are purely white. Not a trace of red anywhere, except the usual on the box. I have one left. I don't think it's strike anywhere.

I'd like to know if there's a name for these or if there's a place I can find more. I live a day's drive from the shop, so I can't just pick up more there (Though I could call them).

Cheers!

They are probably just some no-brand sulfur free cigar matches. Should be able to find some at your tobacconist, or on the net by searching for sulfur free matches/cigar matches).

Swan is a brand name of that type of match also.

I really like Swan Vestas but they are very expensive.

I recently got these with an order from Cigars International and there's 20 matches in a box. Send me your address if you want to try a box.

They're just generic cigar store matches...
Barclay Rex gives them away

+1. My local Tobacconist always tosses a couple boxes in when I buy a couple of sticks.
