Definitions

• the invention relates to a pack for in particular cigarettes having the features of the preamble of claim 1.
• cigarette packs in the execution as a sealing pack.
• the formed cigarette group of several, in particular of three rows of cigarettes, is surrounded by a sealing film, preferably according to the flowpack principle.
• Closure and connecting seams are formed in multiple layers, especially in the formation as a fin fold with against (foil) walls of the pack folded fins.
• a holding or supporting member is arranged, which at least partially surrounds the cigarette group.
• This support member - inner collar - may be formed in a simple manner as a tray.
• a cup structure of the inner collar is advantageous. Special durability is achieved in a cup-shaped inner collar, the walls of which extend - at least collar front wall and collar rear wall, (approximately) over the full dimension or length of the cigarette group.
