A device for filling prefabricated cigarette tubes, especially filter-tipped cigarette tubes that includes a tobacco pressing chamber with a filling opening, in which tobacco introduced through the filling opening is pressed to form a tobacco rod by means of a pressing beam movable transversely to the longitudinal direction of the tobacco pressing chamber. There is a socket for fitting the cigarette tube thereon and the cigarette tube is retained on the socket by a clamp. There is an ejector for ejecting the tobacco rod from the pressing chamber into the cigarette tube. In order to prevent tobacco fibres from projecting out of the filling opening of the tobacco pressing chamber, a separate lid cooperates with the filling opening of the tobacco pressing chamber, the closing movement of such lid in the pressing direction. Preferably, the tobacco rod is overcompressed prior to being ejected from the pressing chamber. Also, the cigarette tube on the socket is clamped diametrically during the filling operation.
