I used to
work in the place where they made those machines, decades ago, and it seems somewhere like that is where this video was recorded.
There are other machines which bolt on to the main 'stuffer' machine that prepare the tobacco and also pack the cigarettes into packets afterwards. Basically all the things he was doing by hand.
This looks like a function test for just the one part of the process.
We used to have boxes and boxes of test 'tobacco' for testing the machines which was nothing like real tobacco except in look and texture. You wouldn't want to smoke it, but there was always someone new who would take some home then regret it.
