Abstract: A candle snuffer which extinguishes a burning candle flame without residual smoke and simultaneously trims a charred end of a candlewick is disclosed. The candle snuffer fabricated from a wire member, has a loop formed in the wire member midway between a first end and a second end of the wire member and a pair of quenching tabs disposed on each end of the wire member. The pair of quenching tabs oppose each other and are sufficiently spaced apart to define a gap to interpose the candlewick of the burning candle flame therebetween, whereby when the pair of quenching tabs are urged together into contact with the candlewick by squeezing the pair of arms, the burning candle flame is instantaneously quenched without residual smoke while the charred end of the candlewick is simultaneously trimmed.
