IMPROVEMENTS IN PIPES FOR SMOKING TOBACCO AND IN CIGAR AND CIGARETTE HOLDERS
Year: 1884

I, JOHN ROSE of Hill Brow Mount Ephraim, Tonbridge Wells in the County
of Kent, Insurance Broker do hereby declare the nature of my invention for
"IMPROVEMENTS IN PIPES FOR SMOKING TOBACCO AND IN CIGAR AND CIGARETTE
HOLDERS" to be as follows :—
According to this invention I form the stem of a pipe for smoking tobacco of a
tube of paper or such like absorbent material. The bowl of the pipe I form with
a short tubular stem projecting from it to fit into one end of the paper tube and
the mouthpiece I form in a similar manner to fit into the opposite end of the tube.
In this way the stem is readily removable and can be changed at pleasure.
The stem by reason of its being absorbent will absorb and retain the grosser
elements of the burning tobacco. In order to restore the requisite fulness and softness
to the smoke I impregnate the stems with volatile aromas and in addition or in
place thereof other ingredients possessing hygienic or innocuous properties which
will blend well with and soften the smoke without impairing the delicate aroma of
the tobacco and which in place of being hurtful like the heavier oils from the
tobacco are beneficial or at any rate not injurious.. Or in some cases the stems
might even be impregnated with various medicinal ingredients.
By the use of stems prepared in the above way and by reason of the smoke
being freed from so much of the noxious oils of the tobacco the mouth and palate
remain clean and free from the noxious oils of tobacco and the saliva can be
swallowed freely and pleasantly without injury to the stomach. The smoke also
owing to the large internal capacity of the stem enters the mouth in a com-
paratively cool state. The tobacco also in the bowl does not get saturated with
juice as in the ordinary pipes but burns freely and sweetly to the end. The samo
effects may be obtained with cigar or cigarette tubes or holders prepared in the
same way-In this caso the paper or other tube forming the holder would
preferably be made conical--the smaller end of the cone would be used to receive
the mouthpiece whilst the cigar or cigarette would be held in the larger end.

J, JOHN ROSE of Hill Brow, Mount Ephraim Tonbridge Wells in the County
of Kent, Insurance Broker do hereby declare the nature of my invention for
"IMPROVEMENTS IN PIPES FOR SMOKING TOBACCO AND IN CIGAR AND CIGARETTE
HOLDERS "and in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement:—
According to this invention I form the stem of a pipe for smoking tobacco of a
tube of paper and calico or such like absorbent material. The bowl of the pipe
I form with a short tubular stem projecting from it to fit into one end of the paper
tube and the mouthpiece I form in a similar manner to fit into the opposite end of
the tube. In this way the stem is readily removeable and can be changed at
pleasure.
Figure 1 of the drawing hereunto annexed shews a side elevation of the three
parts of a pipe formed in the above manner. A is the mouthpiece, B the tubular
stem and C the bowl.
The stem shewn in the above figure is formed of paper it might however be
formed of other absorbent material as for instance of cork-a stem formed from
this material is shown at Figure 2.
Whether the stem be formed of paper and calico as shewn at Figure 1 or of cork
as shewn at Figure 2 I impregnate or saturate it with a strong infusion of the very
best tobacco or in place thereof other ingredients possessing hygienic or innocuous
properties which will blend well with and soften the smoke without impairing the
delicate aroma of the tobacco-or the stems might even be impregnated with
various medicinal ingredients.
The stem by reason of its being absorbent will absorb and retain the grosser
elements of the burning tobacco but as the stem is impregnated as above described
with volatile aromas or ingredients the smoke will have restored to it the requisite
fulness and softness.
Owing also to the large internal capacity of the stem the smoke will enter the
mouth in a comparatively cool state the tobacco also in the bowl will not get
Baturated with juice as in ordinary pipes but will burn freely and sweetly to
the end.
By reason of the smoke being freed from much of the noxious oils of the tobacco
the mouth and palate of the smoker will remain clean and the saliva can be
swallowed freely and pleasantly without injury to the stomach.
The stems may be made of various lengths as indicated by the various lengths of
stem shewn at Figure 1.
The stem and inserted mouthpiece may also be used as a cigar or cigarette
holder as indicated at Figure 3 the end of the cigar or cigarette being inserted into
the end of the stem instead of the short tubular stem projecting from the bowl Ơ
of a pipe.

page_text: . Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is
-
1.-Forming pipe stems or the stems or tubes of cigar or cigarette holders of
paper or other absorbent material impregnated with volatile aromas or ingredients
substantially as described.
2.-Forming the bowls of pipes with a projecting nipple to fit into the end of a
stem of absorbent material substantially as described.
