These torches were indeed also 'home-made', with a similar method as you describe. I don't remember how long they lasted, but I remember I was astonished by the length, so it surely must be over 25 minutes. I think that photoshoot alone could easily have taken 25 minutes already, not to mention we used them to light the encampment with them afterwards. Must be up to an hour or even more. I also think they did some trial versions with different types of wax, cloth, etc before to see what works best. But I certainly don't remember any prober details.
