A method and device for supplying cigarettes (2) on a packing machine, whereby the cigarettes (2) are withdrawn successively from the output ends (12) of a number of channels (8) by means of a number of pickup rollers (16) - one for each channel (8) - located parallel to the cigarettes (2) and each having a rib (19) defining a suction type pickup seat (20) for a respective cigarette (2); each pickup roller (16) rotating variably about a respective axis (17) so that the respective rib (19) sweeps past the output end (12) of the respective channel (8) at a relatively slow angular speed, and the respective cigarette (2) is transferred at a relatively fast angular speed to a device (5) for forming layers (6). <IMAGE>
