There is a small ceremony in ending a burn properly: the cool weight of the snuffer in your fingers, the bell lowering over the flame, the soft hush as light gives way to one silver curl of smoke. No wax splatter, no smoking wick, no blown-out mess. Just a clean, gentle close. It is the punctuation mark at the end of a well-spent evening.
Use it as the last thing you do before turning out the lights.
