5.5″ OREGON MADE GLASS SHERLOCK PIPE – MADE IN USA

The 5.5″ Oregon Made Glass Sherlock Pipe is a handcrafted glass hand pipe built for people who want a stylish, reliable daily driver with real character. The classic Sherlock curve keeps the bowl away from your face while the 5.5 inch (140mm) length gives you a smoother, slightly cooler pull. Each piece is individually made in Oregon, so the fumed wrap & rake design is one-of-one — your pipe will quietly shift and deepen in color as you use it.

This isn’t mass-produced import glass; it’s a solid, USA-made Sherlock meant to live on the table, not in a drawer, and to ride with you for years of seshes.

Why you’ll actually reach for this one

• Comfortable, relaxed grip — The Sherlock bend sits naturally in your hand so you’re not doing finger gymnastics mid-sesh.
• Smoother, less harsh hits — Extra length and that curved neck give smoke more time to travel, helping it feel less aggressive than tiny pocket spoons.
• Color-changing fume work — The full fume and wrap & rake pattern slowly evolves as resin builds, so the look gets richer the more you use it.
• Easy tabletop parking — Sherlock shape lets you rest it down more securely than a round spoon, so it’s less likely to roll off the coffee table.
• Made in Oregon, USA — You’re supporting domestic glassblowers who actually care about clean welds, proper shaping, and durability.
• Dialed-in bowl size — Plenty of room for a solid pack without being a huge flower hog, ideal for solo seshes or passing to one or two friends.

Best for

This Sherlock is made for people who love the feel of a classic glass pipe but want something with more personality than a plain spoon. It’s a sweet spot piece for folks who smoke regularly, want a dependable hand pipe they don’t have to baby, and appreciate glass that looks better over time instead of just getting cloudy.

If your setup already includes a bigger piece like a bong or rig, this shines as your couch companion or "quick walk" pipe. It also fits right in with anyone building a small collection of quality American-made glass alongside their go-to smoke shop essentials.

How to use it (the basics)

Load ground flower into the bowl, keeping things loose enough for airflow but packed enough that it won’t pull through. Use the side carb to control how tight or airy your draw feels and clear the chamber when you’re ready between hits.

Let the pipe cool between bowls, then tap or scoop out the ash. When you’re posted up at home, it plays especially nice on a nonstick dab mat so you’re not smudging resin on the table.

For cleaning, allow it to cool completely, then wipe or poke out loose residue. For deeper cleans, soak in isopropyl alcohol, rinse with warm water, and dry before you put it back into rotation.

Specifications

Design & feel

The Sherlock profile does more than just look classy. The drop in the stem helps keep the bowl angled up and away from your face, with the mouthpiece comfortably elevated so you’re not hunched over your hand. That curve also gives ash and debris a little more distance to travel, which can help keep stray bits from reaching your mouth.

The fume work is where this pipe really stands out. Because the glass is fumed, the look subtly changes as it sees more use, going from lighter and more transparent to deeper, smokier tones layered with the wrap & rake pattern. If you like watching a piece "break in" and develop its own personality, this is that kind of pipe.

Care & maintenance

You don’t have to baby it, but a little regular cleaning keeps the function and colors on point. Knock out ash after each bowl, and if you’re a heavier smoker, a quick soak in isopropyl every so often will keep the draw open and the fume work visible.

If you travel with your glass, it’s worth tossing it into a padded pouch or a small case so you don’t end up explaining a broken Sherlock to your roommate. For stashing at home, pairing it with a smell-controlled container from our storage & packaging lineup keeps both nosey guests and dust away.

How it compares to other hand pipes

Versus a standard spoon, the 5.5" Sherlock gives you:

• A little more distance from the bowl to your face, which a lot of people find more comfortable.
• A more secure resting position when you set it down, thanks to the dropped stem.
• A more "grown-up" aesthetic that doesn’t scream cheap gas station pipe.

Versus tiny pocket pipes, this isn’t quite as stealthy, but it’s way more pleasant for full seshes and easier to grip when you’re passing around a circle. If you’re the type to keep a small travel piece plus a nicer home piece, this fits cleanly into the "home favorite" role along with heavier rigs and even silicone bongs & rigs.

FAQ

• Are all the colors the same, or will mine look different?
  Each pipe is handmade and fully fumed, so every one is slightly different. You’ll see variations of blues, ambers, greens, and more, with the wrap & rake pattern shifting across the body. Think of the photos as examples of the vibe, not an exact copy of what you’ll get.
• Does this pipe have a carb hole?
  Yes. Like most Sherlock hand pipes, it includes a side carb so you can control airflow, clear the chamber between hits, and fine-tune how airy or dense your draw feels.
• Is 5.5 inches still portable?
  Definitely. At 5.5 inches (140mm), it’s compact enough to tuck into a small padded pouch or bag, but long enough to feel substantial in hand. If you’re mostly on the go and want something even more rugged, you might also look at unbreakable options in our silicone pipes section.
• How thick is the glass?
  The pipe is made from quality glass with a solid, durable feel, designed as a long-term daily driver rather than a thin novelty piece. Because these are handmade, exact wall thickness isn’t listed as a spec, but it’s built for regular use, not just display.
• How do I keep the fume colors looking good?
  The color shift you see over time is part of the charm with fumed glass. If you want the pattern to stay visible, clean it regularly so the resin doesn’t completely hide the artwork. A simple isopropyl soak, rinse, and dry brings a lot of that detail back. Setting it on a clean surface like a nonstick accessory mat or tray between uses also helps keep grime off the outside.
• Can I use this as my only piece?
  Yes, this Sherlock works great as a primary piece for flower. The bowl is a nice middle ground: not so tiny that you’re constantly repacking, but not a giant party bowl either. If you’re also into concentrates, you’ll probably want to keep your dab gear separate — rigs, bangers, and dab tools — and let this stay dedicated to flower for the best flavor.
• Is it really made in the USA?
  Yes. These Sherlocks are crafted in Oregon by American glassblowers, not imported and rebranded. That’s why the shaping, carb placement, and overall feel are more dialed-in than a lot of factory glass you see at the same price.
