A changing apparatus comprises first and second rotating disks arranged at the terminal end portion of a first transportation path which extends form a cigarette manufacturing apparatus and transports manufactured double cigarettes, pinch grooves formed individually on parts of the respective peripheral surfaces of the first and second rotating disks, and a push groove formed on the remaining portion of the first rotating disk. As the first and second rotating disks rotate, the pinch grooves accelerate a leading double cigarette on the first transportation path in a manner such that they cyclically face each other to hold the double cigarette between them. The push groove forces out the accelerated double cigarette in the transportation direction of a second transportation path in a filter attachment.
