The invention discloses a cigarette sorting, blocking, dividing and converging system and method. The system comprises an upper computer, a sorting control system PLC, a sorting line and a converging device. The sorting line is provided with a partition insertion device, and the sorting control system PLC controls the partition insertion device to insert partitions at the head end of each sub-order; the confluence device comprises a partition recycling device and a confluence conveying mechanism, and the partition recycling device is used for recycling partitions at the head ends of the sub-orders and conveying the multiple sub-orders to the confluence conveying mechanism at the same time for confluence; the method comprises the following steps of order confirmation and splitting, window sorting control, order confluence and division of each order by adopting a method of inserting cigarette carton orders in a partition manner, and has the characteristic of stability of multi-stage baffles, so that each unit o
