PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method by which the level or retention height of tobacco in at least one retention shaft of a distributor or tobacco strand-forming machine having two or more retention shafts can efficiently be controlled, and to provide an apparatus therefor. SOLUTION: This method for controlling the level or retention height of the tobacco is characterized by detecting the retention heights (27, 27') of tobacco (28, 28') in retention shafts (40, 40'), and then controlling the tobacco-charging rates of a convey mechanisms (42, 42') connected to the retention shafts (40, 40') in a direction for conveying the tobacco (28, 28') with a controller (22) in response to the detected retention heights (27, 27').
