<p>A cigarette container having an elongated cigarette storage portion and a jacket (14). The storage portion has an upper and lower panel and adjacent side panels extending therebetween. The side panels include two opposite main panels and opposite end portions joined together to define a storage chamber in which cigarettes (30) may be stored in a side-by-side manner. The jacket (14) is mountable over the storage portion, and slides bi-directionally along an axis transverse to the long axis of the stored cigarettes to reveal a dispensing opening adjacent to an opposite end portion. With a simple shaking motion, dispensing of cigarettes (30) is possible using only one hand. Further, cigarettes (30) may now be dispensed without requiring finger contact with the cigarettes, thereby promoting better hygiene.</p> |
