Cigar o rama tobacco smoking pipe

Abstract

An elongated tobacco smoking pipe having an outer band ( 12 ) that may slide along a body ( 10 ) and may be positioned to cover a transverse-smoking cavity ( 22 ). The outer band may have either a dimple ( 26 ) or a coating ( 28 ) to aid with friction. A bore ( 18 ) communicates with either an end-smoking cavity ( 20 ) or the transverse-smoking cavity or both to carry the smoke mixture to a draw end ( 14 ). An end cap ( 24 ) may be placed over the end-smoking cavity to secure the embers or the tobacco. Also an end cap ( 24 a ) with an end-cap hole ( 30 ) may be used to assist in controlling the smoke to air mixture. Either smoking cavity may have and inner liner ( 32 ) to protect the body from hot embers. The body may have two pieces ( 10 a & 10 b ), allowing the smoker to cover the end-smoking cavity.

I claim:  
     
         1 . A tobacco smoking pipe comprising: 
 a) a body of predetermined solid material selected from a group  1  consisting of a hardwood, a metal, a ceramic, a stone, and a man made solid material suitable for pipes and having a predetermined cross sectional shape selected from a group  2  consisting of a circle, an oval, and a polygon having sides selected from a group  3  consisting of an arc and a line.    b) a smoking end and a draw end each having a predetermined end shape selected from a group  4  consisting of a planar shape, a concave shape, a convex surface and a shape that is a combination thereof.    c) a side surface(s) formed by the extrusion of said cross sectional shape to a predetermined body length and thus forming a predetermined extruded shape    d) a bore of a predetermined diameter near the center of said cross sectional shape running said body length and parallel to said side surface(s)    e) a smoking cavity selected from a group  5  consisting of an end-smoking cavity having an inner surface and drilled into said smoking end in line with and following said bore, a transverse-smoking cavity having an inner surface, drilled into said side surface(s) and connected to said bore, and both said end smoking cavity and said transverse-smoking cavity    f) an outer band of predetermined material selected from a said group  1  having an inner surface contiguous to said side surface(s)    
     
     
         2 . The pipe of  claim 1  further including a friction means for preventing said outer band from slipping yet allowing said outer band to slide along said body thus allowing the smoker to position said outer band in a predetermined location along the said body.  
     
     
         3 . The pipe of  claim 2  wherein the first of said friction means is a dimple of predetermined size creating a raised area on said inner surface of said outer band.  
     
     
         4 . The pipe of  claim 2  wherein the second of said friction means is a coating material selected from a group  6  consisting of shellac, varnish, and lacquer.  
     
     
         5 . The pipe of  claim 3  wherein said body is a conventional cylindrical walnut dowel being about the size of a cigar and approximately 15 cm long, wherein said draw end shape is convex, wherein said smoking end shape is planar, and wherein said outer band is made from conventional brass tube.  
     
     
         6 . The pipe of  claim 5  consisting of said end-smoking cavity.  
     
     
         7 . The pipe of  claim 5  consisting of said transverse-smoking cavity.  
     
     
         8 . The pipe of  claim 5  consisting of said transverse-smoking cavity and further consisting of said end-smoking cavity together.  
     
     
         9 . The pipe of  claim 8  further including an end cap made from a predetermined solid material selected from a said group  1 , and having an inner surface contiguous to said side surface of said body, and being of a slightly larger cross sectional dimension than said body.  
     
     
         10 . The pipe of  claim 9  further including a hole in said end cap and further including said second friction means for preventing said end cap from slipping yet allowing said end cap to slide over said smoking end of said body.  
     
     
         11 . The pipe of  claim 10  wherein said end cap is a conventional copper pipe cap.  
     
     
         12 . The pipe of  claim 1  further including an end cap made from a predetermined solid material selected from a said group  1 , and having an inner surface contiguous to said side surface of said body, and being of a slightly larger cross sectional dimension than said body.  
     
     
         13 . The pipe of  claim 12  further including a hole in said end cap and further including said second friction means for preventing said end cap from slipping yet allowing said end cap to slide over said smoking end of said body.  
     
     
         14 . The pipe of  claim 13  wherein said end cap is a conventional copper pipe cap, wherein said body is a conventional cylindrical walnut dowel being about the size of a cigar and approximately 15 cm long, wherein said draw end shape is convex, wherein said smoking end shape is planar, and wherein said outer band is made from conventional brass tube.  
     
     
         15 . The pipe of  claim 1  further including a body divided into two pieces whereby said pieces are contiguous inside and covered by said band.  
     
     
         16 . The pipe of  claim 1  wherein said end-smoking cavity has a diameter slightly larger than a conventional cigarette and a depth approximately 1.2 cm deep.  
     
     
         17 . The pipe of  claim 1  wherein the dimension(s) of said cross sectional shape is constant throughout said body length and wherein said extruded shape is formed along a path selected from a group  7  consisting of a straight line, a curved line and a combination thereof.  
     
     
         18 . The pipe of  claim 1  further including an inner liner of predetermined material selected from said group  1  having an outer surface contiguous to said inner surface of said smoking cavities.  
     
     
         19 . The pipe of  claim 18  wherein said inner liner is conventional brass tube.  
     
     
         20 . The pipe of  claim 1  wherein the distance across said cross sectional shape is between 1 cm and 2.5 cm.
