Storage containers, products, and methods of packing a smoking product are described. An example storage container has a main body that has a first end, a second end, a lengthwise axis, a width, and defines a chamber and an indicium. The lengthwise axis has a midpoint. Each of the first end and second end is moveable from a sealed configuration to an unsealed configuration. The width of the main body tapers from the second end toward the first end. The indicium is defined at a location between the midpoint of the lengthwise axis and the first end and extends along a portion of the width of the main body. The main body has a first width at the location between the midpoint of the lengthwise axis and the first end and a second width at the second end. The first width is less than the second width.

A piston device for loading material into a tube or other implement. In an example, the material is a smoking material loaded into a smoking implement. An example piston device includes a cylinder and a piston. The piston is removed from a first end of the cylinder and inserted into a second end of the cylinder. A cap slip locks onto the second end of the cylinder to provide a surface on which to compress the material against. Withdrawing the piston from the second end of the cylinder draws the smoking material into a chamber of the cylinder through an opening in the first end of the cylinder. Pressing the piston into the second end of the cylinder compresses the smoking material within the chamber of the cylinder, and then releases the smoking material from the chamber of the cylinder into the smoking implement.

A device for storing and supporting a smokable sleeve comprises a body defining a chamber for storing the smokable sleeve, and a sleeve holder connected to the body for supporting the sleeve in a fillable position, the sleeve holder comprising an aperture for releasably receiving the sleeve. The device may comprise two or more spaced apertures for receiving a sleeve or a plurality of sleeves. The sleeve holder may be integrally formed with the body or releasably connected to the body such that the sleeve holder is disposed either outside of the chamber or within the chamber. The device may be a rigid or resilient material such as plastic, cardboard, or paper.

An apparatus having a two-in-one pipe cleaner and tobacco paper refiller. The two portions of the two-in-one pipe cleaner and tobacco paper refiller fit together for storage and safe keeping. The pipe cleaner portion has a rectangular-shaped base with a protruding cylindrical shaft ending in a rounded tip. The paper refiller portion also has a rectangular-shaped base that has a protruding cylindrical shaft with a flat distal end.
