I'd seen and read about Candle Quenchers on the Pure Integrity site for some time, and couldn't quite figure out why I should get one. Well, I finally did, and I have to say, it's terrific! Not only does it make it easy to extinguish the candles, it eliminates the smoke you get from blowing them out, automatically trims the wick, and takes off the "bloom" that forms on the end of the wick. It's also long enough that you can reach down deep into the jars after much of the wax has burned away. Can't imagine why I didn't get one sooner.
