The 5″ Glass Hand Pipe is a compact, everyday dry herb pipe for smokers who want something simple, clean, and solid that actually feels good in the hand. At 5 inches (127mm) long, it’s big enough to cool things down a bit, but small enough to disappear into a pocket or stash bag. If you like classic spoon pipes with clean glass flavor and zero fuss, this is that reliable piece you reach for without thinking.
Why You’ll Actually Use This Every Day
-
Pocket-sized but not tiny — 5 inches (127mm) gives you a comfortable grip and a little distance from the bowl so you’re not getting cooked every time you clear it.
-
Real glass flavor — Borosilicate glass keeps things neutral so you taste your herb, not the pipe.
-
Easy to live with — Straightforward shape is simple to empty, wipe, and clean out when it starts to resin up.
-
Comfortable in the hand — Ergonomic spoon-style profile sits naturally in your fingers, whether you’re passing it or solo seshing.
-
Low-profile and discreet — No bulky percs or crazy shapes; it tucks away quickly when you’re on the move.
Best for
This 5″ Glass Hand Pipe is made for smokers who want a classic dry pipe as their daily driver—something that lives in the tray, gets tossed in a backpack, and just works. It’s especially good for people who like quick, no-setup seshes and don’t always want to break out a full rig or water piece. If you’re building out a small travel kit, pair it with one of our compact pieces from the smoke shop products collection so you’re covered wherever you end up.
How to use it
The basics are familiar: pack your dry herb into the bowl, cover the carb, and pull through the mouthpiece—this style of hand pipe is pretty much the standard for a reason. The 5-inch length gives the smoke a short path to cool just enough without making the piece awkward to stash or carry. When you’re done, tap out the bowl gently and give the bowl area a quick wipe so it doesn’t cake up on you over time.
Between hits, setting your hand pipe down on a nonstick dab mat helps keep ash, crumbs, and heat away from your table or rolling tray. Let it cool before cleaning; for deeper refreshes, a soak in isopropyl alcohol followed by a rinse and dry will bring the glass back to clear.

Fit & everyday use
At 5 inches (127mm), this pipe hits the sweet spot between a tiny taster and a chunky at-home piece. There’s enough bowl real estate for a real sesh, but not so much that you’re committing to a marathon every time you pack it. If you like having a few different options ready to go, it plays nicely in a drawer or stash with other compact pieces or backup bowls, and it’s easy to organize everything in dedicated storage and packaging so nothing gets knocked around.
Care & cleaning
Glass pipes stay way nicer if you don’t let resin fully take over. Let the pipe cool, tap or gently scrape out the bowl, and wipe what you can reach. For deeper cleans, soak the piece in isopropyl alcohol, rinse thoroughly with warm water, and let it dry before you use it again. If you’re rotating between a couple of pipes, you can stash this one freshly cleaned and ready to go beside your silicone pipes so you always have a clean option.
FAQ
-
Will this fit comfortably in a pocket or small bag?
Yes. At 5 inches (127mm), it’s compact enough for most jacket or hoodie pockets and small smell-proof bags, while still feeling like a full-size pipe in your hand.
-
Is the glass thick enough to be a daily driver?
It’s made from borosilicate glass, which is the standard for durable, heat-resistant pipes. Like all glass, it can still break if dropped, so it’s smart to protect it in transit or keep it near a padded accessory case when you’re on the move.
-
Can I use this with concentrates?
This pipe is designed for dry herb. If you’re mainly into dabs or wax, you’ll have a better time with a proper rig or nectar collector made for concentrates.
-
How often should I clean it?
That depends how much you’re seshing. If you use it daily, a quick wipe or alcohol swab every few days keeps flavor fresher and makes deep cleans easier. Once resin builds up, an isopropyl soak, rinse, and dry will restore clarity.
-
Does this pipe stand upright on its own?
Like most traditional hand pipes, it’s meant to rest on its side. Set it down gently so the bowl faces up and any loose ash stays put. Keeping it on a small tray or parchment sheet also helps contain crumbs and ash.
-
Is this a good first pipe?
Yes. If you’re just getting into glass, a 5″ spoon-style pipe is one of the easiest, most forgiving options to start with—no complicated parts, easy to pack, and simple to clean when it gets dirty.
-
How does this compare to using a water pipe?
A hand pipe is more compact and faster to use since there’s no water to worry about. A bong or rig will usually give you cooler, more filtered hits, but it also takes more setup and space. A lot of people keep both: this as a grab-and-go piece, and a larger water piece waiting at home. If you want to upgrade the home setup later, you can explore our silicone bongs and rigs for something more heavy-duty.
