How to Fill Pre-Rolled Cones Like a Pro: Step-by-Step Guide

Whether you're a seasoned smoker or just getting started, learning how to properly fill a pre-rolled cone makes all the difference in your session. A well-packed cone burns evenly, lasts longer, and just feels smoother. If you’ve ever had a cone canoe on you or burn out too quickly, this guide is for you.

 What You’ll Need:

• Empire Rolling UltraSmooth Cones (our 1.25 or King size work best)

• A grinder (we recommend the Empire Rolling Premium Grinder)

• A packing stick (comes free in most 6-count packs)

• A rolling tray or clean surface

• Optional: Empire ProRoll Elite 100 for high-speed filling

 Step-by-Step: Filling Your Cone

Step 1: Grind It Fine
Use a quality grinder to break your material down evenly. Too chunky and it’ll clog the cone; too fine and it’ll restrict airflow.

Step 2: Open and Hold Your Cone
Gently tap the cone to open it fully. If you're using Empire cones, you’ll notice they already have a built-in filter — no extra steps needed.

Step 3: Load the Cone
Using a small funnel or your fingers, start filling the cone a little at a time. Don’t overload it at once or it’ll compress unevenly.

Step 4: Pack It Down Gently
Use the included packing stick to compress the contents every inch or so. Don't overdo it — the goal is a firm, not tight, pack.

Step 5: Twist the Top
Once it’s filled to your desired level, give the top a gentle twist to seal it. Boom — you’re ready to light up.

 Pro Tips for the Perfect Burn:

• Use a slow, steady burn lighter

• Rotate the cone as you light it to ensure an even cherry

• Store your cones in a dry, airtight case — humidity can ruin the burn
