A device for forming a tobacco rod with €¢ a discharging apparatus (1) for discharging loose tobacco out of a tobacco container (11) in the form of an endless tobacco rod (13) along a conveying section (10), €¢ an apparatus for forming tobacco accumulations (32), which forms local tobacco accumulations (36) in the endless tobacco rod (13) on the conveying section (10) at regular intervals and €¢ a trimming apparatus (37) for trimming the height of the tobacco rod (13) at least between the local tobacco accumulations (36), €¢ wherein the trimming apparatus (37) has a pair of rotating trimming disks (38, 39), the rotational axes (40, 41) of which are arranged on different sides of the conveying section (10), the peripheries (42, 43) of which approach each other within the conveying section (10) and between which the discharging apparatus (1) conveys the tobacco rod (13) and €¢ which has a removal means (44) for excess tobacco with at least one rotating blade (48), which is arranged on the side of the trimming disks (38, 39) facing away from the discharging apparatus (1), sweeps over the insertion area (49.1) between the peripheries (42, 43) of the trimming disks (38, 39) in front of the point (49) of the greatest convergence of their peripheries (42, 43) with the at least one rotating blade (48) in order to thereby separate the sections of the tobacco rod (13) protruding from the trimming disks (38, 39) at least between the tobacco accumulations (36).
