Abstract (en)
A forming method to form a group (1) of smoking articles (2) comprising a plurality of rows of smoking articles (2) superimposing one another and wherein at least one row of smoking articles (2) internally has a gap (3) due to the absence of the respective smoking article (2). The forming method comprises the steps of: forming at least two sub-groups (7), each having a semi-gap (3A) in the area of an outer edge of the same; and joining, side by side, the two sub-groups (7) in the area of their outer edge, so that the two semi-gaps (3A) face one another in order to form the group (1) of smoking articles (2) with the gap (3).
