5 out of 5 starsBest glass I have ever used. Some of the most beautiful glass I’ve ever used. Pieces that are classic and functional. Had to get another while I still could. Should have been stocking up for years. If you’re having doubts and reading reviews to see if you want to purchase, just do it. My only regrets were not buying some coasters to pair, but there is still time. I couldn’t recommend enough.

Frequently asked questions
Gift wrapping and packaging
My packaging is basic, and all recycle-able or biodegradable. I ship in a plain box with a shipping label that uses the Etsy logo, but only my name as the artist is stated in the return address. I reuse newsprint from my local alternative paper for glass protection, and pack it with rice peanuts. My shipments have an incredibly strong record of arriving unharmed.
I do not include a print of the receipt in the package as a general rule. (paperless- it is in your email)
How long does order processing take before it is shipped?
Unless stated otherwise, all items in my shop are made-to-order, and can take up to 14 days (8-10 average, but varies by time of year) when bought with general processing.
I offer two processing upgrades for orders in a hurry:
3-5 day ($5-6)
https://www.etsy.com/your/shops/HumblePrideGlass/tools/listings/205314024
24-hour (business day) ($10-12)
https://www.etsy.com/your/shops/HumblePrideGlass/tools/listings/205324725
How old do I have to be to purchase a pipe?
Most states require you to be 18 or older to purchase tobacco products and pipes; though, some states now require you to be 21+. Please only order within the laws and requirements of your location- I thank you, and the glass pipe industry as a whole thanks you for respecting the security of our art careers.
Wholesale availability
I do accept wholesale accounts at my website: https:www.humbleprideglass.com
Please contact me to set up a wholesale account.
Custom and personalized orders
Because most of my items are made-to-order, I can often accommodate requests for small changes to the design when requested. Common requests that would not incur an additional fee include: Flattening the bottom of the banana, Pushing a larger or smaller pipe bowl, paintbrush pipe color changes, etc. (please note that flattening the rounder fruit pipes like the peach, blueberry and orange is not advisable)
Is your glass durable?
All of my glass is hand-blown from high-quality borosilicate glass- the kind of glass used in Pyrex coffee pots, and is generally pretty strong and is expertly kiln-annealed over a period of several hours to maximum conditioning.
Bororsilicate glass does not need to be very thick to be strong- it is more important that there be even wall thickness, so that percussion vibrations can ring out smoothly. My banana and chili pipes are famously durable in this respect.
Rounder glass pieces will naturally be a bit more fragile, because of the round creating a concentrated "hit-point" in a drop. Though well-crafted, these pieces and pieces with extensions (Roses, for instance) should be protected from hard drops.
How can I keep my pipes safe?
Clean pipes often, to prevent build-up from trapping percussion vibrations in the glass.
For round pieces, like my peach, orange, blueberry and apple pipe, I recommend using a small rubber band or rubber o-ring (available at most head-shops and hardware stores) to set the pipe on. this will prevent rolling.
I also offer a bean bag pipe seat cushion for pipes that holds a variety of pipes- sherlocks included!
