A discarding device (1) for discarding cigarette packs (PS) not provided with a label or duty stamp (T) comprises an operational endless conveyor (4) driven step by step and carrying a plurality of open containers (5) each adapted to receive one cigarette pack (P). Loading means are provided to load sequentially into said containers (5) the packs (P) not yet provided with labels; and, spaced with respect to one another according to the feed steps of the intermittent conveyor (4), there are provided: a labelling station (S1) where the labels (T) are applied to the packs (P) in the containers (5), a checking station (S2) to detect the presence of the label on a pack, a discard conveyor (2) to discharge the unlabelled packs (PS), and a transfer conveyor (3) to convey the regular (i.e. labelled) packs (P) from a operational conveyor (4) to a further delivery conveyor (22, 23, 24). The discard conveyor (2) and transfer conveyor (3) for the packs (P, PS) consist each of a guided sliding path (6, respectively 7) for the packs, disposed transversely to said intermittent operational conveyor (4), suitably related to the respective dwell stations of the containers (5).
