My local store (Cadillac Mtn Sports of both Bar Harbor and Ellsworth, Maine, )was able to order these for me from one of their suppliers. I had just bought a really nifty little titanium stove, which was designed both for Esbit and alcohol. Either way, not the fastest for a quick boil, but I wanted the extra options.

It had been years since I was near an Esbit tab---I don't remember them smelling as bad as they do now. Not when burning, but when you open the pack, rather a bad stench. Is this a safety feature to make them less appealing to the little ones, who may once have mistaken them for sugar cubes?
