Pretty useless in a highly humid environment.
I always buy waxed matches and had different brands.
At the moment we're using imported matches:
'Cerillos El Tiz?n'
Made in India ;)

Frogs live in water and have to have waterproof matches.
As we're on the subject, what do frogs use matches for.
I know it's not to light cigarettes, as we all know that if you stick a lit cigarette in a frog's mouth, he'll blow up, so what do they do with matches.
Set swamp fires?:cheeky: :cheeky: :cheeky:
BBQ flies?;)

I know nothing about the business.
Relampago manufacure wooden stick matches in a box.
I'm not sure if anyone makes them in matchbook form, in the DR.
The only lead I have is that contact info posted above, which I took off the a box of matches that I have.
Are you here in the country?
Do you have a yellow pages phonebook?

I haven't seen those match book things for years, although hotels probably do provide them. It's worth mentioning that smoking is relatively rare in the DR, so maybe matches aren't worth getting into. I would guess that the conventional match boxes made by Relampago are for household use - lighting gas cookers - more than anything else.

They are known for backfiring, in my experience anyway.
