yea it is. I love sherlocks because you get a great view of the weed burning. plus there is a little window of clear glass between the little chamber and the bowl so i can see the smoke curling up. recently i have been using "Goof Off" to totally clean out the bowl and downstem so it is all shiny and i can see the red light from the cherry shining out of the glass (when i smoke in the dark).
