Why Do People Prefer Sherlock Pipes? I Understand That They Look Awesome But Do They Take Better Hits Than A Traditional Pipe?

  1. I don't understand it? What makes them the best kind of pipe?

  2. I think they are great because when you light the bowl it is easy to look at as oppose to normal pipes, weird bongs, and homemade creations.  Plus they look cool, I do not own one since I don't like dry pieces.
     
  3. Novelty for one. Id rather get a glass one hitter but it's something cool to toke with friends cause it feels fancy in a way.

  4. I like a bigger sized sherlock over a spoon anyday. Gives the smoke a lot more time to cool down, small pipes are way too harsh lol
     
  5. longer chamber from the bowl to the mouth piece for the smoke to get filtered, plus they look cool.
     
  6. They are not the best kind of pipe. That is a matter of opinion. I like sherlocks, because you can see what is burning in the bowl, and it makes you look sophisticated while smoking.
     
  7. nothing is getting filtered in a dry pipe
     
  8.  
    Well what would you call what happens when your pipe reses up? isnt that the pipe catching some of that smoke?

    yeah its catching it, but its not filtering anything out. whatever builds up on the pipe is the same shit thats gonna be going into your system. minus the chunks of course, most of what dirties up a pipe is burnt plant material that gets sucked through.
     
  10. I prefer my Sherlock piece for two simple facts. 1 I don't get nasty ash in my mouth, because of the design. 2 It makes me look distinguished.

  11. Most sherlocks have filters actually. They are a long white filter with small whole in middle. It is located in stem

  12. Lol...I don't think anybody is talking about wooden tobacco pipes here. They mean glass sherlocks
     
  13. Im baked leave me alone lol. I saw jimmy carter, then pictured a corncob, through association. That lead to the typical wooden sherlock. The stem curvature adds to total length, cooling smoke, not filtering

  17. I kind of like sherlocks better than spoons because the smoke does cool more. Also as mentioned by everyone, the shape is more enjoyable to look at than a spoon.
     
  18. Id love to get one but you cant really put it down. Gotta hold it the whole time which is annoying to me.
     
  19. Then you come across a piece like this and you fall in love. Sherlock by Sean Foley aka STF glass. Love it! Done with a coil pot technique.
