A compensating store device for cigarettes, between cigarette manufacturing machines and machines for packeting the cigarettes, wrapping the packets and making and wrapping packs of wrapped packets. The store device comprises a cylinder rotating about a vertical axis and having vertical, radial cigarette storage compartments, circumferentially distributed. A cigarette delivery channel at the top of this body feeds cigarettes to the compartments, and tilts so as not to loose its free and open, cigarette-feeding connections to the compartment in the rotating cylinder. Similarly, a cigarette-removing channel at the bottom of the cylinder is tiltably mounted. Between these channels, successive, horizontal rods, cantilevering from a support are moved into, downwardly along, and ultimately from each compartment.
