PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a unit for wrapping tobacco products including a rotating drum furnished peripherally with a plurality of support mechanisms rotatable about axes parallel to the axis of the drum, by which products are supported and carried through an assembly station together with leaves of wrapping material, and a rotating conveyor supplying such leaves, and revolving substantially tangential to the rotating drum at the assembly station. SOLUTION: The rotating conveyer (13) includes means by which single leaves are transferred to each support mechanism, wherein the tangential velocity of the support mechanisms when passing through the assembly station is substantially the same as the tangential velocity of the rotating conveyor. The leaf is transferred at a moment of zero relative velocity between a vacuum roller and the support mechanism through the transfer means associated with the vacuum roller (16).
