Abstract: The cigarette package unit is composed of an outer envelope defining a rectangular parallelepipedal volume similar to that of conventional cigarette packages and which contains an inner rectangular parallelepipedal compartment adapted for receiving the cigarettes. The outer envelope has side walls made of front and rear flaps shorter than a total height of the outer envelope and being connected to respective front and rear faces of the envelope while defining therebetween a rectangular cut-out. A hollow space is formed between the bottom of the outer envelope and the bottom of the inner compartment and in which is placed a match drawer containing a number of matches which is substantially equal to a number of cigarettes.
