Method for extinguishing a candle at timed intervals using a combustible material

A method for extinguishing a candle at timed intervals using a combustible material, the method comprising:

• utilizing a combustible composition adapted for application to a wick segment;
• utilizing a combustible first wick segment;
• forming a combustible second wick segment by spirally wrapping the combustible composition around a heat set and subsequently interweaving with the combustible first wick segment at a predetermined location;
• coupling the combustible second wick segment to the combustible first wick segment;
• placing the combustible second wick segment adjacent to the first wick segment;
• and
• configuring the combustible second wick segment to, as the combustible first wick segment, once ignited, burns down to the combustible second wick segment, interrupt and self-extinguish the burning of the first wick segment;
• wherein the candle wick is configured to be relit, post extinguishment, without having to physically remove a non-combustible barrier.
