Abstract
A cigarette carton providing pull tabs which allow for convenient opening of the carton and later convenient access to cigarette packs contained within the carton. Windows for conveniently accessing cigarette packs contained within the carton during tax-stamping such that the cartons do not need to be opened for tax-stamping are also shown. The carton may be dimensioned to contain five cigarette packs and joined to a similar carton to form a dual carton which can be passed through tax-stamping machinery.
