An apparatus for loading a cigarette blank onto a filling tube. The apparatus comprises a filling tube (350) having a first end (351), a second end (352), an inside diameter (353), an outside diameter (354), and a pin (374) sized to fit within the filling tube (350). The pin (374) has a first end and a second end comprising a guide head (370). When the filling tube (350) receives the second end of the pin (374), at least a portion of the guide head (370) of the pin (374) extends beyond the second end (352) of the filling tube (350) for guiding the cigarette blank onto the filling tube (350). |
