Smoking apparatus with replaceable filtering cartridge

Abstract

A smoking apparatus comprising a pipe bowl, a hollow pipe stem and a pipe body. The pipe body includes a detachable base portion and a replaceable filtering cartridge disposed within the body. The cartridge has a liquid therein for filtering, cooling and/or flavoring smoke passing therethrough. The cartridge further includes means for providing a first smoke port, a first tubular extension member extending therefrom, a means for providing a second smoke port, and a second tubular extension member extending therefrom. The first extension member extends below the top surface of the liquid when the apparatus is substantially upright and above that surface otherwise. The second extension member extends to a point which is always above the top surface of the liquid. The apparatus further comprises a connecting means for establishing a smoke path when the apparatus is upright, wherein the path passes from the bowl, through the first smoke port means, the first extension member, the liquid, the second extension member, the second smoke port means, and the pipe stem.
