A compensating store device for cigarettes, between cigarette manufacturing machines and machines for packeting the cigarettes, wrapping the packets and making and wrapping packs of wrapped packets. The store device comprises a cylinder intermittently rotating about a vertical axis and having vertical, radial cigarette storage compartments, circumferentially distributed. A cigarette delivery channel system at the top of this cylinder can feed cigarettes from a feeding conveyor to each successive compartment stopped below this channel; a generally similar channel system at the bottom can withdraw cigarettes. Each channel system comprises a fixed channel section communicating with consecutive storage compartments, a channel section movably mounted to selectively admit and stop a flow of cigarettes into or from the fixed section; and a solenoid for controlling the latter section. Between the two channels, successive, horizontal rods are moved into, downwardly along, and ultimately from each compartment, with the aid of a chain conveyor mechanism, to provide supports for the cigarettes store in the compartments.
