DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0050] As required, detailed embodiments are disclosed herein; however, it is to be understood that the disclosed embodiments are merely examples and that the systems and methods described below can be embodied in various forms. Therefore, specific structural and functional details disclosed herein are not to be interpreted as limiting, but merely as a basis for the claims and as a representative basis for teaching one skilled in the art to variously employ the present subject matter in virtually any appropriately detailed structure and function. Further, the terms and phrases used herein are not intended to be limiting, but rather, to provide an understandable description of the concepts.

[0051] The terms “a” or “an”, as used herein, are defined as one or more than one. The term plurality, as used herein, is defined as two or more than two. The term another, as used herein, is defined as at least a second or more. The terms “including” and “having,” as used herein, are defined as comprising (i.e., open language). The term “coupled,” as used herein, is defined as “connected,” although not necessarily directly, and not necessarily mechanically.

[0052] The following detailed description is exemplary in nature and is not intended to limit the described embodiments or the application and uses of the described embodiments. As used herein, the word “exemplary” or “illustrative” means “serving as an example, instance, or illustration.” Any implementation described herein as “exemplary” or “illustrative” is not necessarily to be construed as preferred or advantageous over other implementations. All the implementations described below are exemplary implementations provided to enable persons skilled in the art to make or use the embodiments of the disclosure and are not intended to limit the scope of the disclosure, which is defined by the claims. For purposes of description herein, the terms “upper”, “lower”, “left”, “rear”, “right”, “front”, “vertical”, “horizontal”, and derivatives thereof shall relate to the invention as oriented in FIG. 1. Furthermore, there is no intention to be bound by any expressed or implied theory presented in the preceding technical field, background, brief summary or the following detailed description. It is also to be understood that the specific devices and processes illustrated in the attached drawings, and described in the following specification, are simply exemplary embodiments of the inventive concepts defined in the appended claims. Hence, specific dimensions and other physical characteristics relating to the embodiments disclosed herein are not to be considered as limiting, unless the claims expressly state otherwise.

[0053] With reference to the FIG. 1, a vertically oriented sage candle system 100 is presented. The system 100 can include a centralized internal wick 102. The wick 102 configured to be placed within a center of the sage candle system 100, whether the system 100 consists of one or a plurality of thinner candle assemblies (not shown). The system 100 can also include an external covering 104. The system can include an aggregate material 103 configured for use as a candle arranged in a cylindrical fashion around the longitudinal wick 102. The external covering 104 can include sage leaves, organic leaves, aromatic leaves, synthetic wrapping material, wax sheets, and/or burn resistant material designed to allow internal components of the sage candle system 100, including the aggregate material 103 configured for use as a candle arranged in a cylindrical fashion around the longitudinal wick to burn and be consumed while the external covering 104 maintains structural integrity of the sage candle system 100.

[0054] Further still, the system 100 can include external straps, wrap ties, ribbons, and/or strips of material 106 designed to maintain the internal components of the sage candle system compact, tight, and configured to affect a sustainable operational burn of the system 100 while the consumable portions of the system 100 are utilized. The external tie straps 106 can be arranged in a plurality of fashions and may be arranged in a crisscrossed pattern to maintain the system 100 components in a tightly held manner.

[0055] FIG. 2 depicts an embodiment of the system 100 wherein a plurality of leave like materials 108, such as found in cigar making evolutions, are wrapped tightly together to form a sage candle system 100. Such systems 100 may include a centralized wick and/or a plurality of internal wicks, each wick associated with an internally wrapped system. In embodiments as shown, the system 100 can function in a plurality of manners with the concept being that the sage candle system 100 will burn preferentially from one end to another. In embodiments as shown, the system 100 can include an external wrap 104 and external straps 106 structured to keep the internal components of the sage candle system 100, including the aggregate material 103 configured for use as a candle arranged in a cylindrical fashion around the longitudinal wick 102 tightly bound.

[0056] FIGS. 3A and 3B display top and side views of an embodiment of a vertical stand 110 for burning a sage candle system 100 in a vertical position. The vertical stand 110 can include a centralized top post 112 which can be of varying heights depending on the composition of the sage candle system 100. The stand 110 can also include a plurality of pedestal posts 114 oriented on a bottom of the stand 110.

[0057] It will be appreciated by persons skilled in the art that the present disclosure is not limited to what has been particularly shown and described herein above. In addition, unless mention was made above to the contrary, it should be noted that all of the accompanying drawings are not to scale. A variety of modifications and variations are possible in light of the above teachings without departing from the scope and spirit of the disclosure.

[0058] Turning to FIG. 4, an embodiment of the system 100 is shown deployed in a version similar to how an incense holder 116 would hold an incense rod. The composition of the system 100 can include variations with respect to external wrappings 104, and in embodiments may require reinforced crisscrossed straps 106 potentially positioned closer to one another and possibly wider in order to maintain structural integrity of the candle system 100 during burning operations and while suspended on an end in the incense holder 116. The system 100 can include an internal wick 102 and can also include a plurality of sage and/or organic leaves wrapped in a cigar style cylindrically forming a sage candle system 100.

[0059] As best seen in FIG. 5, a sage candle system 100 can also be deployed in a horizontal dish 120 or horizontal holder 120 with the sage candle system 100 resting horizontally within the holder 120. In embodiments, the composition, including external wrappings 104 and the external bindings 106 can be of a modified nature due to the fact that the structural necessity of maintain the system 100 tightly bound is not required when the sage candle system 100 is resting on a holder 120. Therefore, the embodiments which can be utilized in horizontal applications can allow for looser wrappings, comingling of different waxes and organic materials as well as infusion of other aromatic materials which can be positioned throughout the sage candle system to allow a more even release of aromatics and essences during system 100 burn. In embodiments, the system can include a centralized wick 102.

[0060] Additionally, embodiments utilizing a horizontal deployment can include a grouping of smaller candle assemblies 118 and/or smaller sage and/or leave arrangements 118 bunched together to form a whole of a sage candle system 100.

[0061] FIG. 6 displays an embodiment of the system 100 utilizing a plurality of wicks 122 positionable axially along a length of a sage candle system 100 configured to burn more evenly across the system 100 thereby allowing more control in aromatic and essence release from the system 100 during burning evolutions.
