Sherlock pipes got their name after their iconic appearance in the hands of Sherlock Holmes over a century ago. Thanks to their elongated shape and curved neck, sherlock pipes are unmistakable. These pipes have a nice and unique aesthetic that separates them from spoons, chillums, or glass blunts. Believe it or not, the sherlock pipe was the hand pipe of choice for English smokers back in the day. It is hailed as a classic among smoking connoisseurs.
