Abstract
To improve the possibility of extracting cigarettes from the pack, the bottom wall of the pack is made to be bevelled, that is, oblique, with respect to the from and back walls of the pack. The cigarettes stand respectively to the bottom wall and are thereby offset in height relative to one another. The cigarettes are supported by an upper supporting wall and a lower supporting wall which have recesses aligned with one another for receiving the cigarettes therethrough. The support provided by the supporting walls maintains the cigarettes at a distance from one another and from the walls of the pack.
