Whether it's the gardener with a little green bird perched on her right hand as a symbol of her "green thumb," or the DIY enthusiast beaming with joy and equipped with the necessary tools for his next project?the ball figure smokers exude charm in everything they do. The Biker seamlessly blends with his seat, becoming one with his speedy machine. Dressed in biker gear and sporting cool sunglasses, this smoker sets out for new adventures. Equally swift are the beloved Trabant car drivers. As test drivers, they put their orange Trabant Cabrio to the test or eagerly drive it to a football match.
Incense Cones
If you choose a hobby type as a gift for a special person, don't forget to include suitable incense cones for the recipient. With a vast selection from Crottendorfer, Knox, Huss, and Bockauer, there's something for every taste. Sometimes, though, there's only one right scent: the "Biker Smoker" should definitely emit the aroma of Huss Neudorfer Räucherkerzen's Motor Scent from the motorcycle exhaust.
