What is a Sherlock Pipe?
If you think about the kind of pipe the classic character Sherlock Holmes smoked from, or the types of pipes your grandpa used to smoke his tobacco, then you’ve got a basic idea to the shape of a Sherlock pipe. It can also be described as having the shape of a saxophone, and some clever glassblowers have used this design to their advantage (like this one from Grav Labs). Basically, a sherlock pipe has a bowl at one end with the mouthpiece curved upward and away from the bowl.
Why You Should Invest in a Recycler
At a little higher price point than many other water pipes, recyclers offer much more than just a cooler design. Today users can find the recycler model in both dry herb water pipes and concentrate rigs; so, no matter what you like to use, you can enjoy the benefits from a recycler. Recyclers can look intimidating at first, but are actually pretty fun once you get the hang of them.
Pros and Cons of Metal Pipes
There are several materials pipes are crafted from. Glass is the most popular, both in the number of designs and in overall choice for regular smokers. However, glass is delicate, and some pieces can be quite expensive. Smokers looking for an alternative medium may consider metal pipes for smoking. Metal pipes carry many advantages, but not all are created equal.

Wax products have always seemed so much more complicated and almost like this foreign, strange way of going about things. After taking a closer look and truly comparing the two, both sides certainly have their perks.
