Today, the Steinbach company continues to produce nutcrackers in the time honored traditional methods. The Steinbach company has two German factories, one in Hohenhameln and another in Marienberg, Germany. They not only create nutcrackers, they also craft incense smokers, music boxes and ornaments.

Steinbach smoking men, or incense smokers, are wonderful items. They are similar to nutcrackers, but they seperate to hold a cone of incense inside, allowing the smoke from the incense to drift from the mouth. They all depict a delightful character. Some smokers also have music boxes in them. Some smoking men even having moving parts, which are caused to operate by the playing of the music box.
