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.
