摘要

An additional displacement device is provided for moving the forming blocks (4) relative to each other in a direction transverse to the cigar (2). The attachment device has at least one pair of movable forming blocks, a displacement device for moving the forming blocks between a spaced apart open position and a closed position against the cigar, and a device (14) for fitting a mouthpiece to the end of a cigar. An Independent claim is also included for a method for attaching a mouthpiece to a cigar by pressing the end of a cigar between two forming blocks, then moving the blocks relative to each other so that the pressed end (15) of the cigar is rolled and then attaching the mouthpiece.
