How to Put a Joint Out to Save for Later | Smart Tips & Tools

Not finishing your joint in one go? No worries — many smokers like to save half for a later session. But putting out a joint the wrong way can ruin its flavor, structure, or waste it altogether.

At Habib Cash and Carry, we not only stock a wide range of smoking essentials, but also provide you with the best gear to preserve your session. Here's how to properly extinguish your joint and save it like a pro — plus the tools to make it even easier.

The Right Way to Put Out a Joint

Don't Stub It Like a Cigarette

This is the #1 mistake. Pressing your joint down to extinguish it can crush the tip and ruin the airflow for later. Instead, try one of these gentler methods:

• Let it sit and go out naturally (takes a minute or two)
• Gently tap the cherry (burning tip) on an ashtray to remove heat
• Use a joint holder or roach clip to preserve shape

Use a Proper Ashtray to Put It Out

Using any old tray or surface can cause your joint to pick up bad smells or uneven pressure. Instead, use a quality ashtray with deep grooves or snuffers to help extinguish without damage.

Store It Right for Later

Once you've safely put out your joint, you’ll want to keep it fresh.

• Use airtight containers to avoid drying out
• Store it upright if possible to avoid flattening the tip
• Label it if you're putting multiple half-smoked joints away (optional, but handy)

Pro Tip: Use a Doob Tube or Joint Case

These slim containers are ideal for storing half-smoked joints. They’re smell-proof and protect your joint from being squished in your pocket or bag.
