Cigars, Sips & Socials ~ leather + tobacco + stone fruit, Natural Hand Poured Soy Beeswax Candle

Cigars, Sips & Socials     leather + tobacco + stone fruit 

This candle holds all kinds of fly, sexy and has that mood bending vibe!  Enter into the smoking room; where the gentlemen in fine smoking jackets rest in leather high back chairs enjoying a Cuban cigar. With hints of fruity wine, spicy cinnamon, warm cloves, aromatic incense, and earthy patchouli - this spicy and somewhat sweet fragrance has Base notes of tobacco leaf and oriental spice to provide the perfect foundation on which the other notes meld perfectly to form the sheer heaven that is Cuban Tobacco. 

I'm a perfect find for those with smooth and mature taste. I'm masculine without being overbearing and harsh. I work well in bedrooms, bathrooms and social situations.

“I delve into stories that inspire me—from the details behind my soap and candles, to the facets of scents, and the people that inspire me.  For me, there is a characteristic touch and a story behind each item I curate. My items draw on the experiences that took place in my life that I love to reminisce on and share with you.

All are named after creatives, monuments, and experiences. Each luxury item serves as encouragement to continue to reflect and reminisce on all important and monumental times in your life and hers or history.”   ~ Rabiah, Maker

There is a certain specialness to me, as they are mixed, made, and packaged by a dedicated - one.  Please be aware these are handmade and hand poured  by me, so there may be a natural variation in color, minor uneven shapes and/or separation from the wax and vessel . Also please note that all of the wax melts and candles are made from a soy beeswax blend which may show signs of natural frosting, but luckily this does not affect their wonderful scent. Please enjoy this candle as much as I enjoyed making it especially for you! 

Scenting is so much more than filling a space with fragrance. Fragrance is an accessory that’s often overlooked in the design of a home. But just as important as your choice in furniture, lighting and artwork, scent adds depth and character to your home – transforming the ambiance into an inviting and relaxing oasis.

*This candle is further enhanced with a handcrafted wax and/or other non wax accents, natural flower accents or other adornments which melt or are left over and settle into the wax. After the candle is done, simply discard any left over adornments!

CANDLE SAFETY:

• Burn your candle for 2-4 hours; this will not only maximize the fragrance throw, but also help avoid "tunneling" (when the candle burns down the middle, leaving wax around the edges). ***If tunneling occurs, it can be fixed by melting the top with a hair dryer, melting the wax just until the top is level. Allow wax to dry before lighting. 
• Each time you burn your candle, trim the wick to 3⁄8” (about the width of your pinky finger) before you light it. (wooden wicks can be "pinched off with fingers) This helps ensure a smaller, safer flame and less soot. 
• Never leave a burning candle unattended. Extinguish all candles when you leave a room or before going to sleep.
• Light candles carefully. Keep your hair and any loose clothing away from the flame.
• Don't place a burning candle near clothing, books, curtains or anything flammable.
• Keep lit candles away from drafts, ceiling fans and any air currents.
• Place candle holders on a stable, heat-resistant surface that is sturdy and large enough to catch any melted wax.
• Extinguish a candle if the flame gets too close to the candle holder or container. Wax is flammable!

DID YOU KNOW?...burning candles that contain BEESWAX produce negative ions? These are thought to neutralize airborne pollutants, helping to remove the negative effects of breathing in dust, odors, and mold. Candles that contain Beeswax are the most durable & long lasting candles you can own! They burn brighter, longer, & cleaner than any other type of candle. I mix both Soy and Beeswax and call it the “Beehive Blend”. These are skin safe and contain a minimal amount, yet longer lasting natural fragrance oil.  

My products are free from carcinogens, reproductive toxins, and other potentially hazardous chemicals often found in other candles. Phthalate-Free!

 STOP! HOLD THE PARAFFIN!!!  

We all love a good candle, but do you actually know what's in them? If you care to know and why have we chosen not to use it?

WHAT IS PARAFFIN WAX?

Paraffin wax is a white, odorless petroleum by- product created when crude oil is refined into gasoline. Crude Oil is a type of oil that is highly unsustainable due to being a non-renewable resource.

EFFECTS ON THE PLANeT

Crude Oil is not replenished with the speed at which it is consumed. It has been the cause of drastic changes in climate, devastation and damage of natural environments and oil spills. 

BURNING CANDLES WITH PARAFFIN WAX: EFFECTS ON CONSUMERS

Paraffin Wax creates highly toxic benzene and toluene when burned aka carcinogens. These toxins released from paraffin candles can also be found in diesel fumes (a mixture of gasses, vapors, liquid aerosols and substances made of particles) which can be linked to asthma and lung cancer.
