Stash & storage
by Buddies
The Buddies Torpedo Cone Tube is a plastic joint storage tube that keeps your pre-rolled cones intact during transport. It measures 120mm long with a 20mm diameter — just enough room for one standard cone or two slim rolls. Dead simple, costs less than a coffee, and stops you fishing crumbled bits of joint out of your jacket pocket.
A pre-rolled cone is a fragile thing. You spend three minutes carefully rolling, packing, and twisting the tip — then you drop it into a bag, sit on it, or cram it into a cigarette pack where it gets crushed against 19 other sticks. We see it constantly: someone walks into the shop, rolls a beautiful cone at the counter, then stuffs it loose into a coat pocket. By the time they get to the park, it looks like it went through a washing machine.
The Buddies Torpedo solves this in the most straightforward way possible. It is a rigid plastic tube with a snap-shut cap. Your joint goes in, the cap clicks closed, nothing moves. The tube is 120mm long and 20mm across, which fits a standard king-size cone with room to spare. If you roll slimmer — say with 1 1/4 papers — you can squeeze two in side by side. The plastic is thick enough that sitting on it in your back pocket will not collapse it, though we would not recommend testing that theory on a concrete bench.
One honest limitation: there is no odour seal. The snap cap keeps the joint physically safe, but it will not contain the smell the way a screw-top metal tube would. If discretion is your priority, pair it with a smell-proof pouch. For everyday transport from home to destination, though, it does the job without fuss.

We have been selling these since before cone tubes were trendy, and they remain one of the most-grabbed items at the counter — the kind of thing people add to their order almost as an afterthought, then come back specifically to buy five more. At under a euro each, most customers pick up a handful in different colours so they can colour-code: one for the afternoon, one for the evening, one spare. The plastic feels sturdy in the hand — not flimsy like the free tubes some pre-roll brands ship with. It has a satisfying click when you close it, which is how you know the cap is properly sealed.
Compared to the RAW Aluminium Joint Tube, the Buddies Torpedo trades metal durability and a screw-top seal for a lower price and lighter weight. The RAW tube is the better pick if you want something that lasts years and blocks smell. The Buddies is the better pick if you want five tubes for the price of one and do not mind replacing them occasionally. Both do the core job — keeping your cone from getting destroyed in transit.
Complete your rolling setup: grab a pack of RAW Classic King Size Slim papers and a RAW Wide Tips booklet. If smell-proofing matters, a Smelly Proof bag keeps everything discreet during transport.
One standard king-size cone fits comfortably. If you roll with 1 1/4 or slim papers, you can fit two side by side. Anything thicker than about 9mm diameter per joint and you are better off using one tube per roll.
No — colours are randomly assigned. The available options are black, orange, red, yellow, and blue. If you need a specific colour, ordering a few increases your odds, but there is no guarantee.
Not fully. The snap cap keeps the joint secure and blocks most casual odour, but it is not an airtight seal. For proper smell-proofing, use a dedicated smell-proof pouch or a screw-top metal tube like the RAW Aluminium Joint Tube.
Yes. The tube is 120mm long, so a standard 109-110mm king-size cone slides in with roughly 10mm to spare. That extra space also means the tip does not get squashed against the cap.
Sturdy enough for daily pocket carry. The walls do not collapse under normal pressure — sitting on it in a jeans pocket is fine. That said, it is plastic, not metal. Stepping on it directly or crushing it under heavy weight will crack it. At this price, keeping a spare on hand is the practical move.
Absolutely. Rinse it out with warm water if resin builds up inside, let it dry, and it is good to go again. Most customers get months of use out of a single tube before the snap cap starts to loosen.
