Punk (fireworks)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A punk is a stick used for lighting firework fuses. It is safer than a match or a lighter because it can be used from a greater distance and does not use an open flame. Punks often resemble sticks of incense. They are made of bamboo and a brown coating of compressed sawdust¹.
