Abstract: A pre-rolled cone filling, packing, finishing, and extruding apparatus and methods adapted for making and extruding cigarettes, such as marijuana cigarettes, onto a catcher and applications thereof are presented. In one embodiment, an apparatus is comprised of a plate with a working surface, a rim portion, a plurality of tapered holes that hold pre-rolled cones, a base attached to the plate, a packing and crimping device with thin rods that fill, pack and crimp pre-rolled cones, and a closing and extruding device with tubes that close and extrude finished cigarettes. A method involves placing pre-rolled cones into the apparatus, pouring the filling material onto the plate and shaking it; inserting the thin rod of the packing and crimping device and moving it to pack and crimp the pre-rolled cone; inserting the tube of the closing and extruding device and closing and extruding the finished cigarettes out onto the catcher.
