    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a cigarette case formed as a single structure from a suitable plastic material and having three wall sections hingedly interconnected so as to be folded along the cooperating hinge members defined by an integrally formed web member. The three wall sections provide an elongated rear wall having a plurality of elongated contiguous channels, a lower front wall having matching contiguous channels that form elongated compartments with the channels of the rear wall when in a closed mode.
