A filter cigarillo comprises a bunch, which includes tobacco surrounded by a binder. A first section, different from a general bunch and providing some strengthening effect, is arranged at one end of the bunch. A natural-leaf wrapper surrounds the general bunch and the first section. A second section, which comprises filter material, is arranged downstream of the first section. The second section is connected to the natural-leaf wrapper by an outer tipping.

Filter cigarillo and process of manufacturing filter cigarillos

An apparatus () for filling cigarette tubes with tobacco comprises a base (), a magazine chamber () adapted to receive a supply of tobacco (T), a lid () adapted to close a top of the magazine chamber (), a filling chamber () adapted to receive the tobacco to be filled into a cigarette tube, a stamp () adapted to shape the tobacco of the filling chamber (), and a slider arranged in the filling chamber () which transfers the tobacco of the filling chamber () into a cigarette tube supported in front of the filling chamber (). A press-down lever () is connected to the stamp () and to a coupling mechanism in order to move the slider after actuation of the stamp (). A pusher for forwarding the tobacco in the magazine chamber can also be coupled to the press-down lever.

Apparatus for filling cigarette tubes with tobacco

A package for tobacco-related articles comprises a shell including a front wall, a rear wall, two lateral walls, and a top side. A lid is adapted to close the top side of the shell when in a closed state. The lid is swivelably connected to the rear wall or one of the lateral walls at a hinge line and is swivelable about the hinge line for transfer between the closed state and an opened state. The lid comprises a top wall including a front edge, a rear edge, two lateral edges, and a bottom side and is adapted to close the top side of the shell when the lid is in its closed state. A beveled edge wall extends from at least the edge of the top wall of the lid opposite to the hinge line and fits into the shell when the lid is in its closed state.

Package for tobacco-related articles

A package () for tobacco-related articles comprises an outer shell (), a lid () which is adapted to close the top side of the outer shell () and can be swivelled about a hinge line, and an inner shell (). The inner shell () accommodates a plurality of tobacco-related articles and can be shifted in the outer shell () from a retracted position to an advanced position, which enables access to the tobacco-related articles. A cutout () in the outer shell () exposes part of the inner shell () and enables transmitting a force onto the inner shell () for moving the inner shell (). A connector () pushes the lid () into its opened state when the inner shell () is moved into its advanced position and pulls the lid () into its closed state when the inner shell () is moved into its retracted position.
