Burning bayberry candles for good luck in the new year is a generations-old custom. The legend of the bayberry candle says that “A bayberry candle burnt to the socket will bring joy to the heart and gold to the pocket.” Our hand dipped bayberry scented taper candles help to keep this tradition alive and makes for the perfect gift. Our tapers are crafted to burn drip-free at a rate of approximately 1 hour per inch. Each candle is dipped 35 times for a superior depth of color, and pairs are joined by a braided cotton wick for the cleanest burn. Fragrance: Bayberries accented with hints of fir balsam, vanilla, and natural patchouli oil. Sold by the pair, each 9” candle has a 7/8” standard base. Made of a high grade enhanced beeswax blend in the United States. Pro tip: To avoid dripping burn away from all drafts and trim your wicks!
