Abstract
A water pipe or bong for smoking tobacco comprising a base to which there is affixed one end of an upright, hollow cylinder, thereby leaving an open end which can be received against one's mouth so that smoke can be inhaled by applying a suction action to the interior of the cylinder. A revolver is axially aligned with the longitudinal centerline of the hollow cylinder with the cylinder being telescopingly received within the revolver and with the revolver being rotatably positioned about a medial portion of the cylinder. A plurality of radially spaced combustion chambers are formed within the revolver in which tobacco can be stored and combusted. The combustion chambers include an open end into which tobacco is charged and an outlet end through which smoke can flow. A passageway is formed between the outlet of the combustion chamber and the interior of the hollow cylinder so that air can be drawn into the combustion chamber, thereby burning the tobacco, so that smoke flows through the outlet into the interior of the chamber and into one's mouth.
