Abstract: A cigarette container is disclosed, which may be assembled by a user, with a decorative or advertising exterior for storing a standard cigarette box. The user assemblable cigarette container is larger than a standard cigarette box thereby allowing a standard cigarette box to fit inside of the assembled container. When a standard cigarette box is placed inside the assembled container the cigarette container covers the standard cigarette box thereby hiding the unsightly branding, warnings or graphic images on the exterior of the standard cigarette box. In addition, the assembled container provides additional structural support for the standard cigarette box to prevent crushing or damage to the cigarettes contained therein. A container has a hinged top that opens to expose the standard cigarette box. During opening of the hinged top to the container, the top of the standard cigarette box is also opened to expose the cigarettes therein.
