When it comes to charming folk collectibles, German smokers are as famous as German nutcrackers. They originated in the Erzgebirge in the mid-1700s. These incense burners and the rich, warming scent of incense are strong traditions there. As incense is often used to bless the home in Germany, smokers were a natural development. Collectors can find an infinite variety of smokers to add to the charm of their homes.

Favorite themes for German smokers are everyday people. In contrast to nutcrackers, which are usually modeled after authority figures, you can find smokers that represent men with pipes, Santas, chimney sweepers, and others. Almost any hobby, occupation, or personality type is represented by smokers. At the WeatherVane, we understand the need to collect these whimsical figurines for their practical use as incense burners, and for their collectible value.

Here, you will find the largest selection of smokers at the most affordable prices. What's more, you do not have to travel to small German villages to purchase them! We do that for you, visiting the Erzgebirge once a year to search for the finest handcrafted German gifts for people who are fond of collecting them.

Smokers make great gifts for your family, and each family member can build their own collection. If you have a doctor in the family, select a doctor smoker, or a golfer smoker for the golf enthusiast in your home. These are just a few examples of our most popular items.
