The smoking pipe of the present invention generally includes a base and a mouthpiece. The base includes a bowl for placement of loose tobacco and also includes a channel that extends from the bowl out the front of the base. The base further includes a permanent magnet that is embedded within the base and located above the channel. The mouthpiece is a component that is separate and distinct from the base. The mouthpiece includes a channel that extends the full length of the mouthpiece. Further, the mouthpiece incorporates a permanent magnet that is embedded within the mouthpiece and located above the channel. The mouthpiece is generally movable between two positions relative to the base. The first is a smoking position where the mouthpiece is held tight to the base such that the channels of the mouthpiece and base are aligned for smoking. The second is a transportation position in which the mouthpiece is held tight to the base such that the mouthpiece covers the bowl maintaining any loose tobacco within. The smoking pipe is of minimal dimensions allowing for the pipe to be easily carried within the palm of the hand or a shirt or pants pocket.
