Abstract
Cigarette groups (11) are wrapped in an inner blank (16) made of tinfoil or the like within a cigarette pack designed as a hinge-lid pack. To make it easier to extract cigarettes (12), the inner blank (16) is equipped with a flap (26) which can be pulled off as a result of punching lines (27). To make it even easier to extract cigarettes (12), the inner blank (16) is equipped, by means of lateral punching lines (31, 32), with a lift-out strip (30) which makes it possible to lift a number of cigarettes (12) in order to extract them. The lift-out strip (30) extends by means of a gripping tab (34) into the region of the flap (26). When the latter is pulled off, the gripping tab (34) is exposed, in such a way that it projects from the opened cigarette pack and can be grasped by hand. The lift-out strip (30) is connected permanently to the inner blank (16) as part of the latter.
