PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a cigarette packing machine (1) which is composed so that conventional defects can be removed. SOLUTION: An output wheel 3 advances a number of gripping heads (6; 54, 55) each for receiving at an input station 8, a respective packet 7 with it's longitudinal axis 10 crosswise to the traveling direction (22) of the gripping heads and with outer longitudinal tabs 17 open, detached from respective inner longitudinal tabs 16 and supported on respective folding wings 36 carried by the relating gripping head. The output wheel 3 feeds the packet through a gumming station 48, where gum 18 is applied between each outer longitudinal tab and the relative inner longitudinal tab and moves the relative folding wings 36 to fold each outer longitudinal tab into a closed position contacting the relative inner longitudinal tab before the closed packet is fed to an output station 9.
