ABSTRACT:
Filter cigarettes are produced by delivering individual filter portions to corresponding ends of each of two rows of staggered tobacco sections as delivered by the catcher drum of a cigarette making machine. The tobacco sections and filter portions of each row are preferably rolled separately (e.g. by parallel ring tipping operations) and subsequently the rows are combined, without any tip turner or final cut. The filter portions may be delivered to take up their staggered formation by feeding pneumatically in an axial direction, or, in a process especially suitable for Russian cigarettes having filter portions consisting of tubular mouthpieces, by transverse movement and alignment.
