Abstract: A cigarette mini-pack comprises a box container and an integral hinge lid. Both the box container and the hinge lid have a generally square cross section. The hinge lid includes front, top and back panels with interconnecting side panels. The front panel of the hinge lid does not include a fold back panel and instead comprises a single thickness of material. Without a fold back panel, the blank for forming the cigarette mini-pack includes upper and lower angled edges that compliment one another. A cut separating serially arranged blanks simultaneously forms the lower angled edge of one blank and the top angled edge of the trailing blank.

Abstract: A cigarette pack comprises a pair of complementary packets each of which comprises a box that includes a straight or angled or non-orthogonal side panel and wherein each box contains a group of cigarettes. The packets are arranged adjacent one another along their straight or non-orthogonal sides and then overwrapped to produce the cigarette pack. Each packet includes ten cigarettes for a total pack count of twenty cigarettes. The individual packets promote ease of transport and overall freshness. The packet may have rounded or beveled corners, and each packet may have a hinge lid or comprise an outer shell and interior cigarette holding slide. The packets may hold reduced diameter cigarettes with the advantage that the overall length and width of a pack of twin packets are substantially the same as the length and width or a pack of conventional diameter cigarettes.
