Sealed camouflaged pipe embedment buckle

A method comprising:

• aligning a generally planar smoking pipe for insertion into a complementary channel on an exterior surface of a belt buckle base;
• sliding the smoking pipe into the channel such that first and second convex side walls of the smoking pipe engage complementary concave first and second base side walls of the channel;
• and
• sliding an intake port on a leading distal end of the smoking pipe into a corresponding seat portion in the base.

An apparatus comprising:

• a base including having a linear channel in a first surface thereof, wherein first and second channel side walls are concave;
• a smoking pipe having generally parallel, convex first and second pipe side walls slideably received into the channel proximate to the first and second channel side walls;
• a first magnet embedded in a base wall of the channel;
• wherein the smoking pipe includes at least one intake port on a distal wall generally perpendicular to the first and second pipe side walls, and enclosed within a seat portion of the base portion disposed between the first and second channel side walls such that an exterior surface of the base is generally parallel with an exterior surface of the smoking pipe;
• a second magnet embedded in a surface of the smoking pipe such that a pole thereof is generally aligned with an complementary pole of the first magnet;
• and a belt anchor fixed to the base portion;
• a latch pivotally secured to a fulcrum affixed to a base surface, the latch having a release pad at a first end thereof and a latch hook on a second end thereof opposite the first end, and wherein the latch hook is disposed in the channel and extending into a latching pocket on a surface of the pipe.
