The HEMPER Candle Hand Pipe is a sophisticated novelty piece from Hemper’s "Tea Party" collection. Designed to look like an elegant, lit candle, it balances a unique artistic aesthetic with high-quality functional glass.
Product Overview
The Candle Hand Pipe is a dry herb pipe crafted from durable borosilicate glass. It features a tiered design with an opaque white body that mimics dripping wax, sitting atop a metallic-style base.
Design: A "dripping" white candle with a gold-plated foot and a transparent amber flame.
Dimensions: Approximately 5.5 inches long with a 2-inch diameter.
Mouthpiece: The "flame" at the top serves as the mouthpiece.
Bowl: Features a deep, pushed-in bowl on the side of the candle for generous packs.
Key Features
Gilded Aesthetic: The opaque gold foot gives the piece a "museum-quality" look, making it a great display item when not in use.
Functional "Drips": The artistic glass drips on the side aren't just for show; they provide a textured grip and help prevent the pipe from rolling on flat surfaces.
Borosilicate Construction: Built with thick, heat-resistant glass to ensure longevity and a clean flavor profile.
Integrated Carb: Includes a side carb hole for precise airflow control and clearing the chamber.

Care and Maintenance
Protecting the Finish: To keep the gold electroplating on the base from wearing off, avoid using abrasive scrubbers or soaking the exterior in harsh chemical cleaners.
Internal Cleaning: Use a standard mixture of isopropyl alcohol and coarse salt for the interior to keep the amber "flame" clear and your hits tasting fresh.
