Abstract: Cigarette cartons are packages with a relatively large number (for example, ten) of cigarette packs (30). Because of a special design of this cigarette carton or of a common blank (33), it becomes possible to divide the cigarette carton to form part packs (half-cartons 34, 35), each of these part packs as well as the complete cigarette carton forming a saleable unit which is convenient to handle.
