Patent ID: 8776803

Claim:
A smoking pipe comprising: a tubular body including a holder portion formed in one end portion thereof and capable of holding smokable material, an upstream chamber defined in said tubular body adjacently to the holder portion, and a downstream chamber secured downstream of the upstream chamber; an absorption filter contained in the upstream chamber, for filtrating mainstream smoke of the smokable material; a flavor generation element contained in the downstream chamber, for generating flavor to be added to the mainstream smoke, said flavor generation element including filter material, flavoring added to the filter material, and wrapping paper wrapping the filter material into a cylindrical shape; and a separator containing the flavor generation element and forming the other end of said tubular body, for keeping the flavor generation element airtightly separated from the filter until the smoking pipe is used, said separator allowing an air communication path to be formed from the filter to the other end of said tubular body by way of the flavor generation element to produce the mainstream smoke passing through the flavor generation element toward the other end of said tubular body, the air communication path having an upstream opening located between the filter and the flavor generation element and a downstream opening located at the other end of said tubular body, when the smoking pipe is used.
