A device for loading and forming smoking articles has a body section. A first socket is formed in a top area of the body section. A second socket is formed in a bottom area of the body section. A plurality of channels is formed in a bottom area of the first socket. The channels extend through the body section into the second socket. The channels are formed around a perimeter of the first socket and each configured to hold a smoking article. A tube is formed in a center area of the first socket. A plate has a plurality of openings. The plate is rotatable within the first socket to allow one to align a desired number of the plurality of openings with corresponding channels of the plurality of channels. A pin opening is formed in a center area of the plate. The pin opening is aligned with the tube when the plate is inserted into the first socket. A pin member is insertable into the pin opening and the tube. The pin member secures the plate in position. A cap is insertable into the first socket when loading the smoking articles and into the second socket to push the smoking articles out of the channels when loaded.
