ABSTRACT:
Method and apparatus are provided for manufacturing a filtered large cigar which includes the steps of simultaneously introducing onto the rolling table of a cigar rolling machine preformed cigar filters and a charge of tobacco filler material for spiral wrapping within a sheet of cigar binder material which has simultaneously been introduced onto the rolling table. A reinforcement strip including layers of reinforcing tape and a nonflammable foil is also introduced onto the rolling table. In this manner, during the subsequent rolling operation, the reinforcement strip becomes circumferentially wrapped about and bonded to the binder over the interface between the filter and filter material. Depending on the relative placement on the table of the reinforcement strip and binder, the reinforcement strip will be positioned either over or under the binder. Upon completion of the rolling operation, first transport means are provided for transporting the rolled bunch to locator means for tightly locating the filter against the filler charge where second transport means pick up and transport the located bunch to crimping means where the bunch is crimped. Third transport means then pick up and transport the crimped and located bunch to conventional wrapping means where it is wrapped in either a natural leaf or a manufactured cigar wrapper.
