Cigarettes are manufactured on a machine that includes a filter tip attachment comprising a train of rollers with peripheral suction grooves, each proportioned to hold a single cigarette. The grooves are set parallel to the axis of rotation of the relative rollers and combine to establish a feed path along which the cigarettes are attracted and released, passing from one roller to the next and advancing through a succession of processing stations. To optimize the attraction and release steps, the cigarettes themselves are exploited in such a way as to create a chamber in each groove, compassed between the cylindrical surface of the cigarette and the bottom surface of the groove it occupies, and connected to the pneumatic circuits generating the suction.
