Sour Apple Sherlock Pipe

Big hits. A little too hot though

Sour Apple Sherlock Pipe…
So, the glass was not as thick as I’d hoped. I bought it for a friend with extremely large hands. In that respect, it’s perfect! It hits quite nicely. We like the color! It’s fun to watch the smoke pass through the pipe.

Package came fast and was packed awesome. Pipe hits clean and hard.

DEFINITELY THE BEST PIPE I EVER PURCHASED. TAKE ONE SMOOTH HIT AND THE STEM AND BOTTOM FILLS WITH YOUR 2ND SMOOTH HIT. THE PERFECT PIPE. THANKS BADASS.

The best thing about this piece is color and looks. My hits are smooth because of drag. Drag is great if smaller hits are your thing. The way it looks, you would think that maybe it would hit like hammer, but this is so not the case and if you want a decent hit, a little more effort is going to be needed. Glass thickness is not consistent throughout the entire piece. The bowl section/ smoke chamber has a nice thickness to it, but the mouth piece tube section is obviously thinner and the weak link in the overall construction of this piece. I assumed that this piece was made in China before I purchased it. Contrary to popular belief, China does produce quality products. How do I know this? Because I have purchased some outstanding American Labeled pieces actually made in China such as Maverick/AFM, Diamond Glass, Purr, Illuminati and Grav Labs. Bong making requires a factory with glass blowers, as well as a warehouse and shipping department. I just expected more from this piece at the sale price only and now that I actually have it, to me, it's not worth the sale price IMO.

The cool factor/ looks 3.5 out of 5.
Practicality and ease practical application 2.5 out of 5.
Cost 1 out of 5.
Construction and craftsmanship 2.5 out of 5.
Color coordination 4 out of 5.

Overall score solid 2.5 rounded up out of generosity to a 3.

Since I have it, I will most definitely use it. Had I seen this piece in a local headshop listed at either of the prices listed here, it would most definitely still be at the headshop.

Shipping was fast and it was packaged well which is typical of BAG. I wouldn't recommend this piece to a collector who values free flowing pieces, particularly in a hand pipe but do recommend BAG because of their outstanding customer service and more often than not quality pieces.
