A unique pipe configuration including a magazine in which a supply of tobacco may be stored, so that a smoker will not be required to waste excess time and effort to continuously replenish the pipe with new tobacco when a plug of tobacco therein has been exhausted. A desired amount of the tobacco supply is moved from the magazine into a hollow cutting and smoking chamber by a manually operated piston. A plug of tobacco is cut from the supply thereof by a hollow tobacco cutter and transport device having a cutting surface formed at one end thereof. The cutter and transport device is adapted to ride through the cutting and smoking chamber so as to cut off and move the tobacco plug through the cutting and smoking chamber to a particular location thereof wherein the tobacco plug is smoked. The pipe location at which the tobacco plug is smoked is separated and spaced apart from the communication of the pipe stem with the cutting and smoking chamber. By positioning the tobacco plug at a location apart from the pipe stem, burning tobacco ash will be retained within the cutting and smoking chamber and not drawn along the pipe stem to the mouth of the smoker. Located within and adapted for reciprocal movement through the hollow interior of the tobacco cutter and transport device is a cleaning assembly which permits a quick and easy periodic cleaning of the pipe.
