These hand dipped 8 inch Bayberry scented taper candles are very popular around Christmas time because of an old poem that was traditionally used with them. The poem reads "A Bayberry taper burned to the socket brings health to the body and wealth to the pocket". Bayberry is one of our most popular Christmas scents and these scented taper candles are perfect for the season. The inside of the candle is white and unscented but the green wax that coats the outside of the taper is full of Bayberry scent. The taper candles are sold as a pair. The two candles are joined together by the wick. We design these taper candles to be dripless but make sure they are standing straight in the holder and are not burning in a drafty area. Each taper will burn approximately 1 to 1.5 inches an hour. They are made in the U.S.A.
