Handmade Wooden Taper - Spill - for Lighting Candles, Pipes, or Cigars - Poplar Wood
$15.00
These poplar wood spills, also called tapers, are a throwback to lighting candles, pipes, and cigars in the days before matches. Spills were used to transfer a flame from a source (the hearth, or another candle) to something being lit. The spills burn for about a minute, giving ample time to light multiple candles around the house, or to get your cigar or pipe going.
Unlike lighters, which can leave tobacco products with residual flavors, wooden spills provide a natural and gentle flavor that complements perfectly; additionally, the flame is somewhat cooler than lighters, resulting in a less acrid experience.
A bundle of spills are also beautiful and elegantly rustic decoration, to go on your mantle. Add this essential item to your collection today and never go without a proper light again!
This listing is for one bundle of 15 spills, approximately 8 to 10 inches in length, wrapped with a wood shaving (similar to those pictured). These tapers are in poplar wood; I will be offering other woods in the near future (including cherry and maple). The spills ship USPS, packaged in a small box for their safety.
