Dinner Candles
Dinner candles are the long, slim candles that stand in a candlestick on the table. The usual base is about 2.2 centimetres across, which is why they fit almost every standard holder. They come in many colours, smooth or ribbed, and in various heights.
Fitting the candlestick
Most candlesticks are made for that standard 2.2 centimetres. If a candle is a fraction too wide, warm the bottom gently and press it in. For a holder with a spike, cut a small hole in the base first. The diameter and the height are given with each article.
Burning straight and steady
Dinner candles look their best out of a draught; a window left ajar is enough to make one burn down one side and drip. Trim the wick short and stand the candlestick where nobody has to reach across it.
