Smoking pipe

Abstract

A smoking pipe is disclosed. Example embodiments are directed to a smoking pipe having a bowl where tobacco would be inserted to be smoked, the bowl being a separate piece or part that gets pressed, threaded, or magnetized into or onto a machined body, stem, or smoke chamber of the smoking pipe. The smoking pipe can have a body, stem, or smoke chamber that gets hollowed out by a machining process to allow maximum smoke expansion and superior performance. Example embodiments can include a bowl, a stem, body, or smoke chamber, a mouth piece or receiving portion, and a carburetor to allow fresh air to clear the smoke chamber. The smoking pipe may have or may not have a 5.725 degree taper machined into the inside diameter of the carburetor hole to allow other smoking attachments to be inserted into the carburetor hole.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A smoking pipe comprising:
 a body hollowed out during a machining process;   a stem that is machined to reduce a total weight of a material from which the stem is fabricated; and   a smoke chamber that is machined to reduce a total weight of the material from which the smoke chamber is fabricated.   
     
     
         2 . The smoking pipe of  claim 1  wherein the material is of a type from the group consisting of: aluminum, brass, plastic, stainless steel, and titanium. 
     
     
         3 . The smoking pipe of  claim 1  wherein the body, the stem, and the smoke chamber are fabricated from multiple pieces that are pressed, threaded, or magnetized together to form the smoking pipe. 
     
     
         4 . The smoking pipe of  claim 1  further including a bowl being a separate piece or part that gets pressed, threaded, or magnetized into or onto the stem, body, or smoke chamber of the smoking pipe. 
     
     
         5 . The smoking pipe of  claim 4  further including a seat machined onto the stem, body, or smoke chamber to support the bowl. 
     
     
         6 . The smoking pipe of  claim 4  wherein the smoking pipe is re-machined after the bowl is attached to the stem, body, or smoke chamber to blend the bowl to the surface of the stem, body, or smoke chamber. 
     
     
         7 . The smoking pipe of  claim 1  wherein at least 25% of the weight of the body is hollowed out during the machining process. 
     
     
         8 . The smoking pipe of  claim 1  further including a round smoke receiving hole and a round fresh air carburetor hole, both centered on a radial axis of the smoking pipe. 
     
     
         9 . The smoking pipe of  claim 8  wherein the carburetor hole has a taper machined into an inside diameter of the carburetor hole. 
     
     
         10 . The smoking pipe of  claim 8  wherein the taper is at least a 5.725 degree taper. 
     
     
         11 . The smoking pipe of  claim 8  wherein the taper is no more than a 5.725 degree taper. 
     
     
         12 . The smoking pipe of  claim 8  wherein the tapered carburetor hole is configured to receive a tapered end of a smoking attachment. 
     
     
         13 . The smoking pipe of  claim 12  wherein the smoking attachment is a nail fabricated from quartz, stainless steel, ceramic, titanium, or a combination thereof. 
     
     
         14 . The smoking pipe of  claim 1  further including a mouth piece. 
     
     
         15 . The smoking pipe of  claim 12  wherein the smoking attachment is a pipe nail, a tamper, or a reamer.
