It was an economically difficult time and in the winter of 1928/29 he began to earn a meagre extra income by producing incense cones from fine charcoal and natural resin. The cones, "Weihrichkarzle", as they are still named today, were exclusively handmade.

With the demise of the founder, the 1928 founded HUSS incense cone factory was closed in 1970. However, his son, Siegfried Huß continued the good tradition.

In the spirit of his father and grandfather, in the 1990s Jürgen Huß, founded the HUSS incense cone company again. 

Nowadays, the "HUSS incense“enjoy increasing popularity and are known in many places. Keeping strictly to the good tradition of producing fine incense cones out of natural materials, as a trained mechanical engineer, the manufacturer is always trying to break new ground in this direction.

A new and quite unique product line began to develop in the mid-90s. Intricately fashioned in sheet steel, various articles of daily use have been built in miniature. HUSS fragrances and incense burners are of high quality and, in their various forms, such as small pots, pans, ovens, stoves, pyramids, jugs and locomotives, they capture the hearts of young and old alike.  

This, among other projects, brought about the production of HUSS No.1 which is incense cone material pressed into rod form. This results in totally new uses. Something that is especially appealing to the fragrance connoisseur. They have even returned to using traditional packaging from the "good old times". Artful and durable products are produced from various sheets of metal and good solid cardboard. Of course, these products are always complemented by the incomparable content of fine incense cones. "It smells as good as it always did" their customers assure.
