1. Cakes
Cakes are the classic rocket fireworks you see exploding across the sky on July 4th - and as a tall guy, you have the best vantage point to enjoy them! Cakes shoot multiple fireworks, so they make for a complete show. For the tall pyrotechnic, this is his perfect option.
2. Smoke Bombs
One of the best things about being tall on July 4th? Standing high above the smoke bombs. You'll be too high for the sulfur smell to reach your nose, and they're one of the easiest and cheapest fireworks to light. Great to share with your kids!
3. Sparklers
Stand tall above everyone else and wave your sparkler far out of reach! It's a classic no matter how old you are, and they are easy to spread among large groups of people, getting everyone involved.
