It is called “packing the cigarettes”, it’s supposed to make the tobacco tighter in the cigarette so it burns a little longer. It isn’t necessary to do with every cigarette brand (you might make a little difference with Marlboro/Camel/Parliament), but it’s especially unnecessary with some (like American Spirits, those things are pretty tightly packed to begin with).
