Cigarette pack of the shoulder-box type for a group of cigarettes, comprising a flat container and a lid pivotably connected thereto via an articulation in the region of a rear transverse wall of the container as well as an inner frame, running all the way around, which is arranged in the container and butts against the inside of crosspiece-like container walls, namely side walls (12, 13) and transverse walls (14, 15), and which in the closed position is encompassed by the lid of box-like design, wherein the cigarettes are oriented parallel to a base wall of the container and a lifting mechanism, located within the container between the group of cigarettes and the base wall, which, when the lid is closed, butts against the base wall and, when the lid is open, raises the cigarettes into an oblique position, with the following features: a) the cigarettes are surrounded by an inner wrapper made of foil or paper to form a cigarette block, b) the elastically deformable or compressible lifting mechanism arranged between the cigarette block and base wall comprises at least one separate blank configured with a rectangular or strip-like shape and made of kraft paper, thin cardboard or composite material, c) the blank of the lifting mechanism, on account of being folded along at least one folding edge directed transversely to the cigarettes, forms at least two limbs (32, 33) arranged at an acute angle to each other, of which a base limb rests on the base wall, and the other limb butts against the lower side of the cigarette block as a lifting part, in particular as a lifting limb, d) when the lid is closed, the lifting mechanism is compressed and fixed under stressing between the cigarette block and the base wall such that, when the lid is opened, the cigarette block can be raised on account of the lifting mechanism being relieved of stressing, e) the base limb, which rests with at least a sub-region on the base wall, is connected to the base wall by one or more areas of glue, in particular in the case of lifting mechanisms whose base limb has smaller dimensions than the exposed surface of the base wall. a) the cigarettes are surrounded by an inner wrapper made of foil or paper to form a cigarette block, b) the elastically deformable or compressible lifting mechanism arranged between the cigarette block and base wall comprises at least one separate blank configured with a rectangular or strip-like shape and made of kraft paper, thin cardboard or composite material, c) the blank of the lifting mechanism, on account of being folded along at least one folding edge directed transversely to the cigarettes, forms at least two limbs (32, 33) arranged at an acute angle to each other, of which a base limb rests on the base wall, and the other limb butts against the lower side of the cigarette block as a lifting part, in particular as a lifting limb, d) when the lid is closed, the lifting mechanism is compressed and fixed under stressing between the cigarette block and the base wall such that, when the lid is opened, the cigarette block can be raised on account of the lifting mechanism being relieved of stressing, e) the base limb, which rests with at least a sub-region on the base wall, is connected to the base wall by one or more areas of glue, in particular in the case of lifting mechanisms whose base limb has smaller dimensions than the exposed surface of the base wall.
