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 (24a) 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 (10a & 10b), allowing the smoker to cover the end-smoking cavity.
