As an aside to the post "Marlboro Duplication", there was repeated mention of "Hauni Baby Cigarette Maker". I have a soft spot for machinery and this one does it for me! It would have a special spot in my shop, maybe even a shrine. It's a "rod" machine, it makes a continuous rod of rolled tobacco to be cut to length at the final station. the filter and tipping paper go on with another machine. In the link to the YouTube video, the narrator doesn't know dick. The "shredder" portion is a series of "carding" combs/brushes (like for cotton or wool) that distribute pre-shredded tobacco blend evenly on the belt.
Here's a link to YouTube, it's only been up about a month. I'd like to find one of it running.
