In the It’s 4:20 Somewhere world of high-end bong makers, Roor has long been a status symbol. Its upmarket pipes are sought after enough that some models command prices of $1,000 or more. There’s even a diamond-studded, gold-gilded Roor that sells for nearly $4,000.

Founded in 1995 by glass blower Martin Birzle, RooR has established itself as one of the leading manufacturers of premium glass on glass pipes. The company’s philosophy is to combine expert craftsmanship with intelligent design and superior quality. Each piece is made by a single glass artist, using premium laboratory grade borosilicate glass. Their superior craftsmanship and attention to detail makes a ROOR water pipe something to behold, from their thickest German Schott glass to the precision engineering of their signature features like triple pinch ice-catch and extended downstems. Their designs have become iconic and have inspired their own cult-like following dubbed “RooR Kulture.”

Because marijuana and the tools to smoke it remain illegal under federal law, it’s a gray area legally for companies to trademark or patent bongs—even ones that have become cultural icons.
