Integrated Pipe and Lighter System

Abstract

The preferred embodiments of the present invention holds significant improvements and serves as an integrated pipe and lighter system apparatus comprising: a repository for containing a tobacco product; a selectively removable and refillable fuel container; a mouthpiece; an adjustable vented combustion chamber; an ignition switch; a fine gauge screen; a C-Clip; and a coarse screen. The integrated pipe and lighter system of the present invention substantially ensures the smoker will always have a “light” for consuming tobacco products. The fuel container of the most preferred embodiment of the present invention is refillable and has an adjustable flame height. The integrated pipe and lighter system can be safely stored during non-use periods in a protective storage tube.

1 . An apparatus comprising:
 at least one repository for containing at least one tobacco product; and   at least one removable fuel container, wherein said at least one repository and said at least one removable fuel container are coupled in an integrated relationship.   
   
   
       2 . The apparatus of  claim 1  further comprising at least one vented combustion chamber positioned between said at least one repository and said at least one removable fuel container. 
   
   
       3 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein at least one mouthpiece is removably coupled to said at least one repository. 
   
   
       4 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein said at least one repository further comprises at least one fine gauge screen and at least one securer permitting substantial containment of said at least one tobacco product within said repository. 
   
   
       5 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein said at least one removable fuel container is refillable with at least one ignitable fuel. 
   
   
       6 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein said at least one removable fuel container further comprises at least one ignition switch for igniting at least one ignitable fuel contained within said at least one removable fuel container. 
   
   
       7 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein said at least one removable fuel container further comprises at least one fuel volume adjuster for adjusting at least one flame to at least one user-preferred height. 
   
   
       8 . The apparatus of  claim 1  further comprising at least one protective storage tube for containing said apparatus during at least one period of non-use. 
   
   
       9 . The apparatus of  claim 2  wherein said at least one vented combustion chamber further comprises at least one rotatable damper mechanism to control a burn rate of at least one tobacco product contained within said at least one vented combustion chamber. 
   
   
       10 . The apparatus of  claim 2  wherein said at least one vented combustion chamber further comprises at least one slotted orifice. 
   
   
       11 . The apparatus of  claim 3  wherein said at least one repository further comprises at least one filter. 
   
   
       12 . An apparatus comprising:
 a repository for containing a tobacco product;   a fuel container removably coupled to said repository, said fuel container comprising:
 a refillable fuel reservoir; 
 an ignition switch for igniting a fuel contained within said fuel reservoir; and 
 a fuel volume adjuster for adjusting a flame to a user-preferred height; 
   a mouthpiece comprising a rubberized material removably coupled to said repository;   a vented combustion chamber comprising four slotted orifices, said vented combustion chamber further comprising a rotatable damper to control a burn rate of said tobacco product;   a removable fine gauge screen;   a first removable C-Clip securing said removable fine gauge screen in said repository;   a removable coarse screen; and   a second removable C-Clip securing said removable coarse screen in said vented combustion chamber.   
   
   
       13 . The apparatus of  claim 12  wherein said apparatus in provided in combination with at least one set of user instructions to comprise at least one kit. 
   
   
       14 . A method comprising the steps of:
 opening at least one repository;   placing at least one combustible tobacco product into said at least one repository; and   removably coupling said at least one repository to at least one fuel container thereby creating an integrated relationship.   
   
   
       15 . The method of  claim 14  further comprising the steps of:
 activating at least one ignition switch to create at least one spark for igniting said at least one tobacco product; and   consuming said at least one tobacco product.   
   
   
       16 . The method of  claim 15  wherein said fuel container is removed from said at least one repository and refilled with at least one ignitable fuel. 
   
   
       17 . The method of  claim 15  wherein said at least one fuel container further comprises at least one ignition switch for igniting at least one ignitable fuel. 
   
   
       18 . The method of  claim 14  further comprising the step of coupling a vented combustion chamber between said at least one repository and said at least one fuel container, wherein said at least one vented combustion chamber comprises a rotatable damper mechanism. 
   
   
       19 . The method of  claim 18  further comprising the step of rotating said rotatable damper mechanism to control an air flow within said vented combustion chamber. 
   
   
       20 . The method of  claim 15  further comprising the steps of:
 removing integrated pipe and lighter system assembly from a protective storage tube;   opening said a repository from a vented combustion chamber;   depositing said tobacco product into said repository;   closing said repository and removably coupling said repository back onto said vented combustion chamber;   activating and releasing an ignition switch to create an ignition of said tobacco product;   inhaling smoke intermittently until said tobacco product is consumed;   opening said tobacco repository;   removing ashes of consumed said tobacco product from said repository;   allowing said integrated pipe and lighter system assembly to cool; and   returning said integrated pipe and lighter system assembly into said protective storage tube.
