An improved device (1) for forming groups (3) of cigarettes in cigarette packaging machines, in which a group forming wheel (2) comprises, uniformly distributed along its periphery, axial containers (8) each arranged to receive several layers (31, 32, 33) of cigarettes constituting the contents of one packet; said layers (31, 32, 33) being fed in succession into each container (8) during its traversing of a loading station (7), and retention means (34;56) being mobile with said container (8) at least during said traversing, in order to transversely retain the layers (31, 32, 33) in position once inserted, said retention means (34;56) being arranged to oscillate radially relative to the forming wheel (2).
