Devices for filling a cigarette tube with tobacco are disclosed. In one aspect, the devices contain separate metering, compression, and injection mechanisms, which may be manual, partially automatic, or fully automatic. The metering mechanisms move a proper amount of tobacco to a compression chamber, where the tobacco is thereafter compressed for eventual injection. In some embodiments, means are provided for assessing whether a sufficient quantity of tobacco has been metered into the compression chamber, and if not, further metering is accomplished prior to injection. In another aspect, the metering and compression mechanisms are combined into a single mechanism to the same effect.

171 SYSTEM, DEVICE, AND METHOD FOR REMOVING A CIGAR BINDER US15246883 2016-08-25 US20170049145A1 2017-02-23 Maxine Ruffin
A system, device, and method for freaking a cigar, such as a Black & Mild, is provided. The system provides a cigar and an inner binder removal tool. The inner binder removal tool effectuates the removal of the inner binder layer which is commonly found in Black & Mild cigars which some users believe poses health risks. Furthermore, the method associated with the present disclosure provides an improved manner in which to freak a Black & Mild over conventionally known manners which require the user to pinch the inner binder layer. Sometimes the inner binder layer is known as cancer paper in urban areas within the United States.
172 Composition and Method of Application of Precious Metals to Tobacco Products US13495582 2012-06-13 US20130333710A1 2013-12-19 David Brown; Patrick Bryant

An embodiment of the present invention includes a composition and method of applying edible gold leaf to the external surface or wrapper of a cigar or rolled tobacco product.
173 METHOD OF MAKING A TOBACCO PRODUCT US13196248 2011-08-02 US20120006339A1 2012-01-12 Daniel S. Sinclair, JR.
A tobacco product is formed by rolling a sheet of material supplied by a roll or rolls (e.g. moistened tobacco leaves) and/or homogenized sheet tobacco about a slit mandrel to form a shaped tube. The shaped tube is then packaged for shipment to an end user or consumer. The shaped tube remains in the rolled, shaped tube form inside the package. After the shaped tube is removed from the package, a consumer can fill the tube with crushed tobacco leaves or other tobacco filler material of a favorite blend, thereby eliminating some steps in the making of a “roll-your-own” tobacco product. A liquid can be added to the sheet or to the finished tube to moisturize same. The liquid can include flavoring. The tubes are unfilled when packaged and sent to a consumer/end user in tube form so that they have a “memory” that helps hold a tubular cigar shape after they are filled with selected tobacco fill material.

A method and device for feeding wrapping material and a tear strip to a user machine, whereby a strip of wrapping material and a tear strip are fed continuously along respective paths to a joining station where they are joined integral with each other to form a wrapping strip complete with a tear strip; a compensating store for compensating the wrapping strip being located between the joining station and a cutting station at which the wrapping strip is cut into a succession of portions.
176 Method and apparatus for making a filter cigar product US181910 1994-01-18 US5462070A 1995-10-31 Budianto Rahardja
A method and apparatus are described for forming a cigar type product having a filter disposed therein. The filter is positioned inwardly of the ends of the cigar such that the smoke may pass through the filter and subsequently through the additional tobacco filler. A band is provided on the overwrap of the cigar to indicate the location of the filter. This has the advantage of preventing inadvertent smoking of the filter by the smoker. The apparatus is arranged such that the filter may be selectively positioned within the filler of the cigar type product.
177 Device for simultaneously cutting a plurality of wrappers from a tobacco leaf US246860 1981-03-23 US4356747A 1982-11-02 Ian Kjaer; Hans J. Moller
A cutting table for whole tobacco leaves out of which wrappers or binders are to be cut, comprises a perforated plate forming the top of a suction box and presenting a field illuminated from below, within which the mid rib of the tobacco leaf should be positioned, and also presenting indication lines likewise set off by illumination to facilitate the optimum position of the tobacco leaf in relation to the desired cutting pattern.
178 Method and apparatus for removing cigar wrappers from the web of a bobbin US151743 1980-05-20 US4347856A 1982-09-07 John Woltman; Donald W. Zarfos; Robert F. Bulger, deceased
A method and apparatus for providing cigar wrappers for a cigar wrapping machine. The cigar wrappers are stored in a bobbin which is a continuous web of porous sheet material which is wound into a roll with the cigar wrappers positioned upon one surface of the roll and compressed between the adjacent surfaces of the respective layers or turns in the roll. The web is drawn from the bobbin to a transfer zone in the wrapping machine along a continuous path. The web is diverted from the path around a knife edge which forms the upstream edge of a gap between two plates. The web passes from the knife edge around a roller and then back through the gap. The cigar wrappers are peeled from the web by the sharp turn of the web around the knife edge and they pass over the narrow gap directly onto the web which is moving back through the gap from the roller. This overcomes a serious difficulty which was encountered in removing the cigar wrappers from the web.
179 Method of producing cheroots and similar tobacco articles and an apparatus for carrying out this method US158130 1980-06-10 US4330002A 1982-05-18 Ian Kjaer; Niels E. Mortensen

180 Transfer apparatus for natural tobacco leaves US129894 1980-03-13 US4323149A 1982-04-06 Robert J. Pavone
An apparatus for transferring a natural tobacco leaf from a continuous, flexible conveyor belt to a generally flat leaf receiving member at a preselected position in the normal path of travel of the belt. The apparatus includes a plenum box having a pressure opening defined by a peripheral edge of the box, an arrangement for forcing the belt and box from the normal path position toward the receiving member at the preselected position and a mechanism for creating a positive pressure adjacent one surface of the belt to force the leaf from the belt onto the receiving member.
