A cigarette carton comprising two half-cartons, each containing five cigarette packs, which may be sold as one standard 10- pack cigarette carton or may be separated and sold as individual half- cartons. The dual half-carton configuration permits the use of existing tax-stamping machines without significant modifications. Each half-carton is formed from a single blank and has a perforated extension tab extending from one side wall, and a top closure. Two half-cartons are joined together by positioning the walls from which the top closures are foldably attached remote from each other and by gluing each extension tab to the side wall of the other half-carton.
