From cult comedy to wooden art

The Olsen Gang is a legendary Danish comedy film series from the 1970s and 1980s, also beloved in Germany. At its center is Egon Olsen – the clever yet quirky leader, always dressed in a suit and hat, and never without his cigar. This incense smoker figure captures his unmistakable look in wood.

Olsen Gang Incense Smoker Egon, 20 cm/8 inch by Armin Braun - a figure full of character and detailed design

The handcrafted figure shows Egon in his signature outfit: a dark suit with vest and tie, topped with a gray hat with a light-colored band. In his left hand, he holds a brown cigar – his trademark accessory. The face is carefully painted with expressive eyebrows, fine features, and a determined look. Standing 20 cm tall and 7 cm wide, this figure makes a striking display piece for living rooms, shelves, or Christmas arrangements.

Made in Germany

Produced in Neuhausen in the Erzgebirge region, this incense smoker is crafted from local woods such as maple, alder, beech, ash, spruce, and linden. Each figure is turned, sanded, and painted by hand, making every piece unique. It represents both the traditional artistry of the region and a humorous nod to European film culture. Designed for standard incense cones (25 mm/9 inch), the smoker works like a classic Räuchermann: simply open, place the cone inside, light it, and watch as smoke emerges from Egon’s mouth. It creates the illusion that he is puffing on his famous cigar – a playful detail that turns the figure into a true conversation piece.

A unique gift idea

The Olsen Gang Incense Smoker Egon, 20 cm/8inch by Armin Braun is more than decoration – it’s a gift with character. Perfect for collectors of wooden figures, fans of European cult comedies, or anyone who enjoys original Christmas décor. Whether as a holiday gift or year-round collector’s item, this figure brings joy, humor, and craftsmanship into every home.

Owning it means holding a piece of Erzgebirge tradition with a story to tell.
