    Abstract: A device for rolling wrappers onto cigar bodies, includes a lower roll unit (10) with a first pair of parallel rolls (14, 16) lying in a horizontal plane and rotatable in the same direction about their own axes for supporting contact with a lower half of a cigar body when a wrapper is rolled thereon. The rolls are mounted in a holder (22) at either end of the rolls. An upper roll unit (12) has two parallel rolls (46, 48) rotatable in the same direction about their own axes, and which, when the wrapper is rolled on, are disposed in a horizontal plane above and parallel to the rolls in the lower roll unit (10) in counteracting contact against an upper half of a cigar body. The lower roll unit (10) includes at least two additional rolls (18, 20), which are mounted in the same holders (22) as the first pair of rolls (14, 16) in the lower roll unit, and rotatable about their own axes in the same direction as the first pair. The holders (22) are rotatable about their central axis in 90.degree.
