Smoking apparatus

Smoking apparatus comprising:

• a tubular chimney having a cylindrical interior open at both ends and in which a charge of smoking material may be placed;
• conduit means in fluid communication with said chimney and through which smoke from the burning of said smoking material may be drawn by the mouth of a smoker;
• an air inlet in fluid communication with said conduit means and through which air may be drawn for entrainment of said smoke therewith from said chimney;
• and
• plunger means engaging said cylindrical interior of said chimney and reciprocally movable relative thereto for displacing burned smoking material from said chimney;
• said tubular chimney being fixed relative to said conduit means, said plunger means being insertable into said chimney interior from the end of said chimney opposite the end at which said smoking material is burned for loading of said smoking material charge in said cylindrical interior and for said displacement of burned material therefrom;
• and
• the end of said tubular chimney, opposite the end in which said smoking material is burned, being flared to provide a funnel area adjacent said cylindrical interior and by which smoking material may be more easily loaded into said tubular chimney.
