A smoke filter apparatus to modify a particulate or gas phase of a smoke from a smoked material, wherein the smoke filter apparatus comprises:

• a plurality of nesting stems, wherein the plurality of nesting stems form a segmented conduit through which the smoke from the smoked material passes;
• and
• one or more filters within the segmented conduit, wherein the one or more filters are held by one or more grommets;
• wherein the plurality of nesting stems comprises a first nesting stem, a second nesting stem, a third nesting stem, and a fourth nesting stem, wherein the first nesting stem comprises a first upstream end and a first downstream end, wherein the second nesting stem comprises a second upstream end and a second downstream end, wherein the third nesting stem comprises a third upstream end and a third downstream end, and wherein the fourth nesting stem comprises a fourth upstream end and a fourth downstream end, wherein the first downstream end of the first nesting stem is held by a first friction fitting within the second upstream end of the second nesting stem, wherein the second downstream end of the second nesting stem is held by a second friction fitting within the third upstream end of the third nesting stem, and wherein the third downstream end of the third nesting stem is held by a third friction fitting within the fourth upstream end of the fourth nesting stem.
