Abstract: A method and apparatus are described for forming a cigar type product having a filter disposed therein. The filter is positioned inwardly of the ends of the cigar such that the smoke may pass through the filter and subsequently through the additional tobacco filler. A band is provided on the overwrap of the cigar to indicate the location of the filter. This has the advantage of preventing inadvertent smoking of the filter by the smoker. The apparatus is arranged such that the filter may be selectively positioned within the filler of the cigar type product.
