In making cigarettes, tobacco shorts are extracted from the tobacco supply after which the remaining tobacco is showered into an air stream onto a moving band to form a filler stream. The shorts are fed into the tobacco shower by means of a vibrating tray which serves to smooth the flow of shorts into the tobacco shower, the width of the stream of shorts in the shower having a predetermined width narrower than the total width of the shower so that the shorts occupy a predetermined level in the filler stream on the band.
