They're close, but not as large as the REI's. The flammable part is a little larger than "lifeboat matches", but not the size of the REI matches. We're glad we found them. But they're not "strike anywhere" so you gotta keep the striker pad dry to use.
On a scale of 1 to 10 I would give:
REI - 10
Esbit - 8
"Lifeboat" - 7

- but this is just my judgement, your personal milage may vary.
