Puffco Peak Travel Glass
Puffco dates back to 2013, when CEO Roger Volodarsky set out to bring together the seemingly disparate worlds of design, technology, and engineering in order to drastically improve the consumption experience. As a prime example of this singular ethos, the Peak Travel Glass makes it easy to be mobile while carrying a water-filled glass. Its patent-pending closure system includes two positions that are both accessible by rotating the mouthpiece. Open to fill the piece, inhale, empty water, and clean, then close it to lock in your water so that it doesn’t splash around during transport. Visit puffco.com for more info.
Price: $124.99
Heir Waterpipe
What began as a simple idea among college buddies has now evolved into a luxury smoking accessories company that believes in the equal importance of form and function. Heir is also big on the transformative experience of smoking, breaking it down to a veritable ritual rather than a mere act. To this end, the Heir Waterpipe is as good-looking as it is useful, and taking a hit out of one fosters an elevated feeling not strictly attributable to the herb inside.

Jerome Baker Designs
Let’s face it: anyone with with an extra, say, $18,000 laying around is almost certainly not going to spend it on a fancy bong for a friend. They’re going to spend it on a fancy bong for themselves, and it would be well-deserved.

And even if you can’t justify spending that much on a piece of glass (which is actually a work of art, and therefore an investment), you can at least appreciate the keen ingenuity and artistic wherewithal that go into making such magnificent creations.
