Abstract: A method and a device for distributing cut tobacco for feeding cigarette-making machines. The distributing device is equipped with a distribution chamber having a bottom, with a feeding channel for feeding the cut tobacco to the distribution chamber, the channel being connected to the chamber from above, with at least one receiving channel for receiving the cut tobacco from the distribution chamber, the receiving channel being connected to the chamber at side walls thereof. A rotary element for changing local bulk density and disturbing the flow of the cut tobacco fed to the distribution chamber is eccentrically mounted to a stationary bottom of the distribution chamber.
