A sifting machine for cigar filling tobacco is described which includes four different sieves and a conveyor belt continuously supplying the apparatus with tobacco.

Results obtained for stripped and cut cigar filling tobacco as well as for stripped and cut cigarette tobacco are indicated and discussed with regard to dispersion and reproducibility.
