Apparatus and method for forming a tube of planar material suitable for use as a casing for a cigarette. In some embodiments, a cone is disposed within an interior chamber of a housing, the cone having an annular base and a tapered portion extending from the annular base. The tapered portion has a frusto-conically shaped outer surface. A body portion is attachable to the annular base of the cone to induce rotation of the cone with respect to the housing. Rotation of the cone enables wrapping of a planar material, such as a rolling paper or a blunt sheet, about the cone to form a hollow tube having a frusto-conical shape. In further embodiments, a grinder assembly presses organic smokable material through a screen to direct the material through the body portion and into the tube. Filter media can be incorporated into the tube as desired.

A cigarette tube or cone filling device includes a tray for holding a supply of, tobacco, smokable herbs or other material, with an outlet opening, and a cartridge for holding a cigarette tube or cone in a vertical orientation with the cigarette having an open end beneath the outlet opening. A cap can be fit over the cartridge and above the open end of the cigarette tube or cone with a nozzle for fitting into the open end to hold the open end open during filling. The tray has a slide retainer that receives horizontal top flanges or plates of the cartridge and the cap to hold both cartridge and cap tightly together and tightly to the tray, with the nozzle in registry with the outlet opening.

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.

A pre-rolled smoking paper and a packaging that is configured to inhibit damage to the pre-rolled smoking paper prior to use. The pre-rolled smoking paper includes a body having a first portion and a second portion. The first portion is hollow and has an opening configured to receive a smoking product therein. The second portion is integrally formed with the first portion and is a filter. The pre-rolled smoking paper is provided in a plurality of sizes and shapes. Flavored oils or THC oils can be used to infuse the pre-rolled smoking paper. The packaging is designed to accommodate either a single pre-rolled smoking paper or a plurality of pre-rolled smoking papers. The packaging includes at least one storage compartment mateably sized and shaped with the pre-rolled smoking paper. The packaging further includes separate access to each storage compartment thereof.
