In some embodiments, a cylindrical smoking device made from a rectilinear sheet of flexible paper-like material. The sheet is die cut to form a taller portion and a shorter portion. The shorter portion is folded into an accordion shaped member. The longer portion is rolled around the accordion shaped member form in a cylindrical shape where the accordion shaped member is captured within the cylindrical shape. The cylindrical shape is retained by gluing the trailing edge of the taller portion to a location at the mid portion of the taller portion. The recess formed between the top of the cylindrical shape and the top of the accordion portion is capable of retaining a small amount of smoking material.

An apparatus for smoking combustible material can include a glass tube having an axis and open ends. The apparatus can have a rod axially coupled to the glass tube. In addition, a grommet formed from an elastic material can be included. Examples of the grommet can have a tube end to axially receive the glass tube in an interior of the grommet. A shoulder can be located in the interior of the grommet to abut one of the open ends of the glass tube. The grommet can further include a rod end to receive and frictionally engage a portion of the rod and permit relative motion between the rod and the grommet. In addition, the grommet can have an external annular recess located between the tube end and the rod end.

The present invention advantageously provides a device and system for packaging, storing, and smoking an organic smoking material, and a method of using same. In one exemplary embodiment, the system includes a loading device configured to receive organic smoking material and facilitate the depositing of the smoking material into a container. The container includes a first end defining an opening sized to receive the organic smoking material, an opposite second end, and a lateral surface extending therebetween. The loading device comprises a loading funnel sized and configured to engage at least a portion of the opening of the container and a first arm extending from the loading funnel and configured to be adjacent to the lateral surface when the loading funnel engages the opening. The first arm includes a proximal end connected to the loading funnel and an opposite distal end. Additionally, the first arm includes a first surface and an outer second surface. Further, the loading device includes a second arm which extends from the first arm and is configured to releasably engage the second end of the container when the first arm is adjacent to the lateral surface. The second arm further includes a proximal end connected to the distal end of the first arm and an opposite distal end. The second arm may also include a first surface and an outer second surface.
