Pipe

Abstract

An edible smoking apparatus for smoking a tobacco product. The apparatus can be a pipe, bat, bong, or hookah. The pipe can include a removable straw that attaches to the bottom of the pipe to convert the pipe into an edible lollipop. The smoking apparatus can be made from separate parts or from one mould. The edible material can coat a non-edible smoking apparatus.

       12 . The smoking apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the distal portion forms an end piece that is removably attached to said stem. 
   
   
       13 . The smoking apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the proximal portion of said stem forms a mouthpiece that is removably attached to said stem. 
   
   
       14 . A smoking apparatus, comprising:
 a pipe entirely composed of an edible substance having 59.6% sugar, 36.15% glucose syrup, 2.95% water, 0.3% flavoring, and 1% lactic acid, said edible substance capable of supporting combustion of a smokeable material;   said pipe comprising a stem that defines a smoke channel that reaches from a proximal portion that is adapted to be drawn on by a user to a distal portion; and   a bowl defining an aperture on top of said pipe having a substantially conical shaped recess for receiving smokeable material and a lip, said bowl in communication with said distal portion of said smoke channel;   wherein a user draws smoke from said pipe by lighting said smokeable material and drawing smoke through said proximal portion.   
   
   
       15 . A method for making an edible smoking apparatus, the method comprising the steps of:
 dissolving sugar, syrup, and water together to form a solution;   heating said solution to 150° C. in a vacuum at 0.02MPa of pressure, wherein said heating causes said solution to boil;   mixing lactic acid and flavoring into said solution;   pouring said solution into a cast-iron mould;   cooling said solution to a temperature between 18 and 22° C. in an environment having 45% humidity;   raising said temperature to between 35 and 45° C.; and   removing said smoking apparatus from said mold at least 30 minutes after raising said temperature to between 35 and 45°.   
   
   
       16 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein said flavoring is selected from the group consisting of watermelon, lemon, black currant, milk, grape, green apple, peach, strawberry, blueberry, mint, banana, cherry, mango, apricot, and plum. 
   
   
       17 . A method of making a smoking apparatus comprising:
 dissolving sugar, syrup, and water together to form a solution;   heating said solution to 150° C. in a vacuum at 0.02MPa of pressure, wherein said heating causes said solution to boil;   mixing lactic acid and flavoring into said solution;   dipping a non-edible smoking apparatus into said solution to coat said non-edible smoking apparatus in an edible substance;   cooling said solution to a temperature between 18 and 22° C. in an environment having 45% humidity; and   raising said temperature to between 35and 45° C.
