ABSTRACT:
Plain cigarettes which are produced in a multi-speed cigarette rod machine are transported toward a filter cigarette machine. Some or all of the cigarettes which are produced while the cigarette rod machine operates at less than normal speed are ejected before they reach the filter cigarette machine. The filter cigarette machine is started with a delay following starting of the cigarette rod machine and the ejecting device between the two machines removes all such cigarettes which are defective for one or more additional reasons, such as the presence of a splice in the wrapper of a cigarette, a defective seam on the wrapper and/or when the filler of the cigarette contains too little or too much tobacco.
