Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a Sherlock pipe different from a Gandalf?
Both feature a long, curved stem for extra cooling. A Sherlock has a more pronounced curl near the bowl, while a Gandalf's neck runs straighter and longer. The Obsidian Obelisk draws on both traditions in its silhouette.
Does the 10-inch length actually cool the smoke?
Yes. Length alone acts as a passive heat sink: smoke loses temperature simply by travelling further through glass before reaching you, without needing water or ice.
Is this pipe fragile?
It is built from high-grade borosilicate, which is more heat- and impact-resistant than standard soda-lime glass, though any glass pipe should still be handled with reasonable care.
How do I clean a Sherlock-style pipe?
Soak in isopropyl alcohol with coarse salt as an abrasive, cap the openings, shake, then rinse thoroughly with warm water. The curved stem may need a pipe cleaner to fully clear.
