Incense & Accessories for German Smokers

Authentic German Smoker Incense Cones (Räucherkerzen)

German smoker incense is what brings a Räuchermann to life. The small cones sit inside the figure, and once lit, the smoke rises through and out the mouth in a slow, steady stream — that combination of scent and movement is the whole point of a German smoker, and the wrong incense simply won't do it properly.

Ours are traditional Räucherkerzen made in Germany by KNOX, in several of the scents that define the season, such as baked apple, pine, cinnamon, vanilla, frankincense, and myrrh. Each cone burns for several minutes and fills a room with the warmth that German families associate with Advent.

If you're new to them, our guide to German incense cones covers the scents, how to burn them safely, and what to look for, and our German incense traditions guide explains where the custom came from.
