Abstract: A package (10) can support separate groups of cigarettes (12, 13) by an inner frame (14) which has a central fold or pleat (28) to locate the groups. A common single barrier layer wrapper (16) surrounds the groups. The package (10) may be contained in a sleeve-like shell (240) to form a packet similar to a slide and shell packet. Also disclosed is a package 410 which has a disposable cover (424) for an access aperture, the cover having a lower edge (424B) which is inclined, curved or otherwise non-alignment to make minor differences in position of the edge lens noticeable.
