These are the matches I bought earlier in the month. It turns out
that they do work pretty well and are able to burn for some fifteen
seconds or so in high wind. When these matches are blazing away
you can even dip them in water, pull them out and they will commence
to burnin' again. Stubborn little guys.  

I have had for well over thirty years some matches similar to these

but they were getting a bit long in the tooth and they are breaking

up a bit. So these will work to replace them.

Incredible.

Only in California is there an issue with lighting a match.
