A distribution system for a tobacco press is disclosed which includes a distribution conveyor system 50 and distributor blade assembly that includes a first blade mechanism B and a second blade mechanism C. The blade mechanisms are disposed in upper and lower hopper portions 80a, 80b, and distribute tobacco into a charger 30a. The charger includes a vertical chute 32a and an internal container 34a which inserts into a tobacco container 22a which tobacco is distributed and compressed by means of a press head 12a. First blade mechanism B includes a primary distributor blade 82 which can be moved in both a linear motion and a pivotal motion to primarily control the deflection and distribution of tobacco. Second blade mechanism C may include secondary distributor blades 94 and 96 which, when utilized in combination with primary distributor blade 82, provide for quadrant (a, b, c, d) distribution of tobacco into container 22a. Clockwise quadrant filling of the container is achieved by having second blade mechanism C first distribute to quadrants "a" and "b", while first blade mechanism B distributes to quadrants "a" and "d" to overlap and define a feed opening only over quadrant "a". First and second blade mechanisms may then be controlled so that a distribution opening is formed over quadrants "b", "c", and "d" sequentially to complete a fill cycle.
