About the Assorted Incense for German Smokers
This is incense for German smokers as the tradition intended it — three of the most authentic Christmas scents in a single box, made by KNOX in Germany. Myrrh brings the deep, ceremonial fragrance carried by the Wise Men to Bethlehem. Sandalwood is warmer and slightly sweet, the scent that bridges the season and works as easily in March as in December. And Tanne — fir — smells like a German forest in winter, cool and green and unmistakably of the Erzgebirge.
Having three scents in one box means you can match the fragrance to the evening rather than committing to one for the whole season. A quiet Advent Sunday might call for myrrh, while an afternoon of baking suits something warmer. Over the four weeks of Advent, that variety is part of what keeps the ritual from becoming routine.
Each box contains 24 cones sized for standard German smokers and smoking houses, and each burns for roughly fifteen to twenty minutes. They can also be burned on their own — set a cone on a small ceramic plate or stone coaster, light the tip, let it catch for a few seconds, then blow out the flame and let it smolder. Never leave a burning cone unattended.
These cones reflect the classic Erzgebirge craftsmanship tradition, made from natural aromatic materials rather than synthetic fragrance. They pair perfectly with handcrafted German smokers, wooden smoking houses, and other Erzgebirge holiday décor, bringing festive charm and authentic holiday spirit into your collection.

How to Burn
Place the cone inside your smoker’s chamber, or on a heat-safe surface if you’re burning it on its own. Light the tip, let the flame catch for five to ten seconds, then blow it out gently — the cone will smolder from the tip down, releasing a steady thread of fragrant smoke. Never leave a burning cone unattended, and keep it away from curtains, paper, or anything flammable.
