Abstract: A shredded tobacco supply apparatus of a cigarette manufacturing machine comprises two tobacco feeders 4 arranged along a tobacco band. Each of these tobacco feeders includes shredded tobacco reservoirs (12; 13), a deposition chute (26) receiving shredded tobacco from the reservoir through a bottom conveyor (18) and an ascending conveyor (22), and depositing the shredded tobacco, a feed roller unit (34) for delivering shredded tobacco, an acceleration roller (43) for accelerating the delivered shredded tobacco, and a jet diffuser (46) for blowing up the shredded tobacco toward a chimney (10). The chimney (10) adjoins the tobacco band in its traveling direction and inclines at an angle to the traveling direction.
