Cigar-ette′--fill′er.

A little implement for introducing the finely cut tobacco into the paper envelope. It has two forms; a tube and a wrapper. The former is shown in Fig. 1293. A roll of paper is wrapped around a tube, and its inner end clamped between two short tubes or collars; the tube is filled with tobacco and withdrawn, leaving the tobacco in the paper envelope. A hollow piston maintains the position of the tobacco while the tube is withdrawn and forms a stem.
