Abstract
A cigarette making machine includes a shower channel (10; 46; 59; 75; 90; 102; 113; 121) through which tobacco is arranged to be showered towards two suction bands (11,12; 66,67; 76,77; 103,104; 114,115) arranged to move towards one another so as to form two tobacco substreams (13,14; 78,79) from the showered tobacco and to bring these streams together in a region (15) where the bands are closest.
