ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus are disclosed for controlling the operation of a cigarette maker to produce a cigarette rod having a predetermined moisture content. The moisture of the rod leaving the maker is sensed and the tobacco being input to the maker is treated as a function of the measured moisture content, in such a manner as to cause the output rod to have the desired moisture content. Preferably, other characteristics of the output rod, such as density and firmness, are also monitored, and are taken into account in controlling the treatment of the tobacco stream being input into the maker.
