A method and assembly machine (1) for producing multicomponent cigarettes (2), each having a number of portions (3). The assembly machine (1) has a combining unit (CU) for forming groups (4) of portions (3), each having at least two different first portions (3A, 3B, 3C) which are fed perpendicularly to their central axis (X); a first wrapping unit (WU1), which receives a succession of groups (4) of portions (3) from the combining unit (CU), feeds them perpendicularly to their central axis (X), and winds a first sheet of wrapping material (26) around each group (4) of portions (3); and a second wrapping unit (WU2), which receives a succession of groups (4) of portions (3) from the first wrapping unit (WU1), feeds them perpendicularly to their central axis (X), and winds a second sheet of wrapping material (44) around each group (4) of portions (3). |
