The term ‘candle snuffer’ or ‘snuffer’ is also sometimes used to describe what was formerly known as an extinguisher (having a small cone at the end of a handle). The use of a snuffer helps to avoid problems associated with blowing hot wax everywhere. Extinguishers are still commonly used in homes and churches. “Don’t blow it out, Snuff it out”.
