Abstract
A solar powered pipe for use in igniting pipe tobacco. The solar pipe has a light concentrating lens to direct the sun's rays onto the tobacco in a pipe and a retractable arm to regulate the intensity of the heat over the tobacco from the light concentrating lens. Both the lens and the retractable arm are connected to a mounting plate by pivotal joints. When the solar pipe lighter is not in use, it may be folded to fit inside a pocket.
