So they began to make smokers, in addition to nutcrackers and Christmas pyramids. These figures have a hollow construction in which a small incense candle insert is placed. When the incense candle is lit, the smoke rises through the mans open mouth or pipe, which makes the smoker appear alive.In their design, smokers often represent traditional professions or symbolic figures, such as the miner, the forester, the hunter or Santa Claus.
