Abstract: A cigar shaped pipe, ideally made from premium materials such as briar, yet designed to be low cost to manufacture. The device uses a comparatively thin-walled combustion chamber, which both keeps material costs to a minimum, as well as an in-line reverse Calabash chamber to reduce the temperature and moisture of the smoke. In some embodiments, the pipe will further use an end cap, ether for pipe storage or during smoking. This optional end-cap will ideally be made of the same materials as the main pipe body, and thus will have similar thermal expansion properties, as well as having the same beneficial combustion chamber properties. This end cap may utilize O-rings or screw threads to hold the pipe's end cap onto position, thus enabling easy loading and cleaning.
