Abstract (en)

An apparatus (1) for the self-production of a cigarette using a pre-fabricated cigarette paper tube (5) and loose fine-cut tobacco (11) comprises an outer sleeve (2) to accommodate the cigarette paper tube (5) and to support the tube (5) over at least a portion of its length. A funnel (3) which cooperates with the outer sleeve (2) is also provided to funnel loose tobacco (11) placed within it into the cigarette paper tube (5) inserted into the outer sleeve (2). In use, the tobacco (11) can be shaken into the cigarette paper tube (5) by the administration of a series of jolts or raps to an end (7) of the tube (5) protruding from the outer sleeve (2), for example by tapping the end (7) on a hard surface. A pusher means (4) may also be provided for pushing tobacco down the funnel (3) and into the cigarette paper tube (5). <IMAGE>
