Smoking apparatus accessory and method of using the same

Abstract

A smoking apparatus is provided. The smoking apparatus includes a main body having a first end and a second end, the first end defining a concave interior surface. The smoking apparatus further includes a retaining member coupled to the second end of the main body. The retaining member defines a ring-like frame configured to releasably retain an object therein. The concave interior surface is configured to contact and fluidically seal a top surface of a chamber of a smoking pipe to pack and/or extinguish smoking product within the chamber.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A smoking apparatus comprising:
 a main body having a first end and a second end, the first end defining a concave interior surface; and   a retaining member coupled to the second end, the retaining member defining a ring-like frame to releasably retain an object therein,   wherein the concave interior surface is configured to contact and fluidically seal a top surface of a chamber of a smoking pipe.   
     
     
         2 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the main body is a flexible material. 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus of  claim 2 , wherein the flexible material is silicone. 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus of  claim 2 , wherein the flexible material forming the concave interior surface comprises suction-cup like characteristics. 
     
     
         5 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the main body is heat resistant. 
     
     
         6 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the retaining member comprises a flexible material. 
     
     
         7 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the object is a lighter. 
     
     
         8 . A smoking apparatus comprising:
 a main body having a first end and a second end, the first end defining a concave interior surface; and   a retaining member coupled to the second end, wherein the retaining member releasably retains an object therein,   wherein the concave interior surface contacts and extinguishes ignited products.   
     
     
         9 . The apparatus of  claim 8 , wherein the main body is a flexible material. 
     
     
         10 . The apparatus of  claim 9 , wherein the flexible material is silicone. 
     
     
         11 . The apparatus of  claim 10 , wherein the flexible material forming the concave interior surface comprises suction-cup like characteristics. 
     
     
         12 . The apparatus of  claim 8 , wherein the main body is heat resistant. 
     
     
         13 . The apparatus of  claim 8 , wherein the retaining member defines a ring-like frame. 
     
     
         14 . The apparatus of  claim 8 , wherein the retaining member comprises a flexible material. 
     
     
         15 . The apparatus of  claim 8 , wherein the object is a lighter. 
     
     
         16 . The apparatus of  claim 8 , wherein the ignited products comprise cigarettes, cigars, cigarillos, or pipes. 
     
     
         17 . A smoking apparatus comprising:
 a main body having a first end and a second end, the first end defining a concave interior surface; and   a retaining member coupled to the second end, the retaining member releasably retaining an lighter therein,   wherein the concave interior surface contacts and extinguishes ignited products and wherein the main body comprises suction-cup like characteristics for coupling to a surface of a mobile device to support the mobile device for photo taking.   
     
     
         18 . The apparatus of  claim 17 , wherein the lighter supports the portable electronic device at an angle with respect to a surface upon which the portable electronic device is resting. 
     
     
         19 . The apparatus of  claim 17 , wherein the lighter supports the portable electronic device when a user holds the lighter. 
     
     
         20 . The apparatus of  claim 17 , wherein the main body is heat resistant.
