Seconds: Everyday Taper Candles

These are considered factory seconds because they contain minor cosmetic flaws that are the inherent result of the handmade process. Every so often, a pair of candles turns out a little too small or large, or contains an air pocket on the surface. One thing they all have in common, however, is that they will burn beautifully!

Each taper is hand dipped in naturally filtered 100% molten beeswax at just the right temperature. This time-honored process creates an elegant, even-burning candle. When kept out of drafts, these candles will burn drip-less because of the high melting point of beeswax. 

Standard diameter candles come in pairs (2 candles) and have a 7/8" base diameter. Burn time is one hour per inch of length

For best results:

• Before lighting for the first time, trim the wick to ¼ inch. As the candle burns, the wick generally trims itself.
• Keep away from open windows, fans, and drafts.
• Place hand behind candle when blowing out.
• For best results, extinguish the flame with a snuffer to avoid a smoldering wick.
• Do not leave burning candles unattended.
