3d - How to merge two objects in Blender

What I've Done

1. I created a Cube object with Subdivision Surface modifier in order to model a spehere.


2. I created a cuboid object looking like a angled, longish baton.

What I Want to Do

I want to merge these two objects. So I want to have got just one object - a (cube locking like a) sphere with a baton sticking out on one side. It should look a bit like a head with a throat attached at the bottom.

How I Want to Do It

• I don't want to apply the Subdivision Surface modifier - I want to be able to edit my object later on nicely.


• I don't want to have any space between the baton and the sphere. It should be coherent.


• It should be possible without any bad artifices. Everything should be nice.

My Question

How can I merge these two objects nicely? Thanks. - I hope it's clear what I want to describe.
