Abstract

An essentially cuboid hinge-lid pack with a pack part (10) and a hinge lid (11) is rounded in the region of vertical longitudinal edges (26,27) and lid longitudinal edges (28 and 29) and in the region of collar longitudinal front edges (30). The dimensions of the rounded portions of the longitudinal edges (26 and 30) are such that they correspond to the dimensions of cigarettes, so that the latter can fit into the rounded corners inside the hinge-lid pack. Measures for locking the hinge lid (11) in the closed position are also provided.
