Abstract
Shoulder boxes consist of a box part (10) for receiving a group of cigarettes (16) or the like and of a hinge lid (11) connected via an axis of articulation (12). An inner blank (17) with improved moisture and aroma retention is provided with a fold-free upper wall (19) which is closed from stock and in which an extraction orifice (30), extending up to one end of the cigarettes (16) and covering a part region of approximately one third of the surface of the upper wall (19), is provided. This extraction orifice is covered by a closing flap (31) which is formed with an overlapping edge strip (32) at least at one edge located opposite the point of articulation.
