German Incense Smokers at GermanSmokerHaus.com

German Smokers, or smoking figurines, are also a Christmas decor favorite. The German smoker incense is as much a part of the Erzgebirgian Christmas as the German nutcracker.

Throughout the Nineteenth, public smoking was a widespread habit that made the sight of a man with a pipe in his mouth a common one. The inspiration behind the German incense smoker is believed to have derived from the common practice of public smoking in the Nineteenth century and originate from the German town of Seiffen. German Smokers are made using the same techniques as Nutcrackers, however they are made with two pieces that fit together. The smoking cone is placed atop the lower half with the top half acting as the smoking kettle.

German Smokers traditionally represent everyday people including shepards, woodsmen, nurses, marksmen, and carpenters
