Fact: you should be trimming your candle wicks before each time you light them — to 1/8" to be exact. This trimmer by Ash & Fir is uniquely equipped for the job — with a long handle and a trimming head that catches the wick after you trim so it doesn't end up floating in the wax. Then, extinguish your best candles in an old-school way that prevents you from potentially blowing hot wax all over the place with this matte black candle snuffer. It uses a simple, bell-shaped chamber to cut off oxygen to your flame — putting out the fire while preserving the longevity of your candles and creating the least amount of smoke possible.
