CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] Not Applicable. STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT [0002] Not Applicable. REFERENCE TO SEQUENCE LISTING, A TABLE, OR COMPUTER PROGRAM LISTING COMPACT DISC APPENDIX [0003] Not Applicable. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0004] The present invention ("the Invention" and "the Product") is a manufactured object best characterized as a special receptacle or package with igniter for tobacco content, tobacco-smoking accessory, smoking accessory, smoking pipe accessory, or an article carrier with relatively mobile attaching means. Individuals smoke tobacco from pipes of various sizes, forms, and materials. The variants are practically innumerable. Many manufacturers produce small, simple pipes comprised of plastic or other synthetic compounds, others produced large, elaborate pipes comprised of glass, wood, or other materials. Some pipes bear dramatic ornamentation, while others are extremely simple in appearance. [0005] These pipes all contain a receptacle in which individuals place tobacco, which is then ignited with a cigarette or multipurpose lighter, match, or other object producing an open flame. Once lit, the smoker inhales the tobacco smoke through a hole in the pipe. The tobacco smoke may or may not pass through water within the pipe prior to inhalation, and may or may not be filtered via other processes, depending upon the particular design of the pipe. [0006] Three objects are necessary for satisfactory use of the pipe: the pipe itself; tobacco; and a fire-ignition device that produces an open flame and ignites the tobacco. Without the fire-ignition device, the pipe is essentially useless to the smoker. Smokers often find themselves in possession of a pipe and tobacco, but no fire-ignition device. No pipes are presently equipped with a fire-ignition device. Indeed, no pipes provide the smoker with any receptacle or other manner in which they may secure a fire ignition device to the pipe. No individual, corporation, or other concern manufactures or markets a device that secures a fire-ignition device to a wide range of tobacco pipes, or to tobacco pipes of specific sizes. This invention provides just such a device, and provides a solution that enables a smoker to avoid situations in which she possesses a pipe and tobacco, but lacks a fire-ignition device, and thereby increases the smoker's satisfaction. In addition, this invention permits the smoker to light tobacco contained in the pipe without removing the fire-ignition device from the invention, thus reducing the likelihood of the fire-ignition device being misplaced by the smoker. [0007] Several products exist which provide a means by which a fire-ignition device may be attached to a person's body. Such products have several failings. [0008] These products require that the smoker utilize the device regularly to ensure that she has consistent access to the fire-ignition device. Therefore, the smoker is required to carry the extra weight of the product and fire-ignition device regularly, or the product is rendered ineffective. In addition, these products are often visibly attached the smoker's body or clothing, or cause visible bumps or bulges in the smoker's clothing if employed under her clothes. [0009] These products also separate the fire-ignition device from the tobacco pipe, which requires that the smoker exert mental energy, and remember to pack and transport tobacco, pipe, and product while traveling long or short distances. This mental burden often results in one of the three necessary objects for satisfactory use of the pipe. [0010] These products also fail to provide easy access to a fire-ignition device to one smoker, which tobacco pipes are often used by several individuals. Thus, each smoker must procure and wear/carry their own product and fire-ignition device despite the fact that all utilize a common tobacco pipe; this is inefficient and burdensome. [0011] None of the above inventions, taken either singly or in combination, is seen to describe the instant invention as claimed. BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0012] Finding a fire-ignition device such as a cigarette lighter can be a frustrating and time-consuming process when a smoker wishes to use a tobacco pipe. It is often difficult for smokers to consistently remember the locations of the tobacco pipe, tobacco, and fire-ignition device, whether traveling, at home, or in another location. [0013] The Invention provides a convenient, durable, and attractive means of attaching a fire-ignition devices to a tobacco pipe. Unlike the products described above, the Invention does not require a smoker to regularly carry the weight of the fire-ignition device. Because it is attached to the tobacco pipe, the Invention also eliminates the necessity (required by the above products) of making an unsightly modification to the smoker's appearance. [0014] The Invention, by attaching the fire-ignition device to the tobacco pipe, reduces the number of objects required to satisfactorily use the tobacco pipe from three (i.e. tobacco, tobacco pipe, fire-ignition device) to two (tobacco; tobacco pipe with fire-ignition device attached). This provides significant benefits to the smoker, including increased convenience and decreased requirements regarding mental energy and memory. The Invention also provides an improved method of storing a fire-ignition device so that it is close at hand when a smoker wishes to use a tobacco pipe. [0015] The Invention, by attaching the fire-ignition device to the tobacco pipe, imbues all users of the pipe with the benefit of convenient tobacco lighting. If multiple individuals use a single tobacco pipe, only one Invention is required. [0016] Accordingly, it is a principal object of the Invention to provide a means of attaching a variety of fire-ignition devices to a variety of tobacco pipes (with one fire-ignition device attached to one tobacco pipe). [0017] It is another object of the Invention to provide a means to do so in such a way that the fire-ignition device is securely and reliably attached to the tobacco pipe. [0018] It is another object of the Invention to provide a means to do so in such a way that the fire-ignition device may be easily moved for purposes of lighting the tobacco contained in the tobacco pipe, yet remain attached to the tobacco pipe. [0019] It is an object of the Invention to provide elements and arrangements thereof in an apparatus for the purposes described which is inexpensive, dependable, durable, and fully effective in accomplishing its intended purposes.
