5″ SECTIONAL WIGWAG SHERLOCK W/ OPAL

The 5" Sectional Wigwag Sherlock w/ Opal is a heady glass hand pipe for people who actually care what their daily driver looks like. Built for flower smokers who want function and art in the same piece, this Sherlock gives you that comfy, laid-back form factor with serious color work and an encased opal as the flex point. At 5 inches (127mm), it hits smoother than a tiny pocket spoon but still stays small enough to stash or travel with.

Why You’ll Actually Use This Every Day

• Comfortable couch-mode hits — Sherlock-style bend keeps the bowl out front and the mouthpiece up, so you’re not hunching or craning your neck mid-sesh.
• Smoother, cooler pulls — the 5-inch (127mm) path gives smoke more room to travel than a micro pipe, taking a bit of the edge off your hit.
• Showpiece vibes — sectional wigwag work and the encased opal turn this into something you’ll actually want to leave out on the table.
• Squish mouthpiece = no-slip seal — the flattened lip end feels natural against your mouth and helps you get a solid draw without trying.
• Easy to handle — that Sherlock curve doubles as a handle, so you’re not palming a hot bowl when you pass it around.
• Collector-worthy but still practical — built from quality glass that’s meant to be used, not just stare-at-it-in-a-case glass.

Best for

This is made for smokers who are over cheap, generic spoons and want a real showpiece they can still burn out of every day. If you like heady glass but need something smaller and more manageable than a full rig, this Sherlock slides right into that “nice enough to flex, simple enough to use all the time” lane. It also pairs nicely with more durable travel pieces like our silicone options in the silicone pipes collection if you want a full rotation.

How to use it

The layout is classic: bowl on the front, carb on the side, mouthpiece at the end of that curved Sherlock stem. Load your favorite flower into the bowl, use the carb to control airflow, and let the bend in the neck do its thing by keeping heat and ash away from your face. The curve also makes it easy to rest in your hand or lay across an ashtray between hits without it rolling off the table.

After your sesh, let the pipe cool completely before you even think about cleaning. Once it’s cool, wipe off any loose ash, and for deeper cleans, soak the piece in isopropyl alcohol, then rinse with water and dry before reuse. Setting your Sherlock on a nonstick dab mat while you pack and ash keeps the table from turning into a sticky, dusty mess.

The details

The “sectional wigwag” in the name refers to the way the color work is broken into bands along the pipe, instead of one big pattern. Each section has its own line work and motion, giving the piece depth from every angle. The encased opal is sealed inside clear glass, so it’s protected while still catching light and throwing little flashes as you move it around. The squish mouthpiece is a subtle touch, but once you use it, round tips feel a little bland.

Because these are worked glass pieces, colorways and pattern layouts will vary — that’s part of the fun. You’re not getting a factory clone; you’re getting a unique piece that still keeps the same overall 5-inch Sherlock form factor and opal placement.

Specifications

Fit & everyday use

At 5 inches (127mm), this sits right in the sweet spot between “stashable” and “actually comfortable to hit.” It’s small enough to tuck into a padded pouch or case, but with enough length that the bowl isn’t right in your face. If you’re the type to keep all your gear in one place, it lives nicely alongside your grinders, lighters, and other smoke shop accessories without taking over the drawer.

FAQ

• Is this pipe super fragile?
  It’s still glass, so you’ll want to treat it with some respect, but it’s built as a real-use piece, not a paper-thin gallery toy. Avoid concrete, tile, and careless drops. If you’re accident-prone, consider pairing it with a more rugged daily driver from our smoke shop products lineup and keeping this one for home seshes.
• How do I keep the wigwag and opal looking clean?
  Let the pipe cool, then tap or wipe out loose ash from the bowl. For a deeper refresh, soak the pipe in isopropyl alcohol, rinse with water, and dry fully before using again. Avoid scraping the glass with metal tools so you don’t scratch the color work or the area around the opal.
• Will this fit in a pocket or small bag?
  Yes, 5 inches (127mm) is still pretty compact, though the Sherlock bend makes it better suited for a padded pouch or small case than a tight jeans pocket. If you’re building a whole stash kit, look at our storage and packaging options to keep everything protected and organized.
• Can I choose my exact color and wigwag pattern?
  You can select from the available color options, but exact line work and section layouts will vary because each pipe is individually worked. If you’re picky about color families (warm vs cool, high-contrast vs more subtle), check the product photos and options closely before you add to cart.
• Does the opal affect how it hits at all?
  No, the opal is fully encased in clear glass and is there purely for aesthetics. It won’t change airflow or how the pipe smokes; it just gives you that extra bit of heady flair that regular production pieces don’t have. For more strictly functional gear without the art-glass touches, browse our glass jars & packaging section for storage and lab-style accessories.
• What’s the best way to ash it without making a mess?
  Let the bowl cool a little, then tap or gently scoop out the ash into an ashtray or trash. If you’re seshing at a desk or coffee table, putting the pipe down on a sheet of parchment paper or a mat keeps stray ash and herb crumbs from grinding into your surfaces.
• Is this good as a first “nice” piece?
  Yes. It’s simple enough to use like any other hand pipe, but the wigwag sections and opal make it feel like a real upgrade from gas-station glass. If you think you’ll eventually move into concentrates, it also looks right at home next to rigs, nails, and dab tools on your tray.
