• b) the hinge-lid cigarette packs are configured as octagonal packs, with their respective said longitudinal edges being beveled, to form beveled corners, and formed by narrow folding strips having folding lines on both sides thereof,
• c) said laterally arranged hinge-lid cigarette packs in said group lie with their upright beveled-corner longitudinal edges abutting the folding strips (76, 77, 78, 79), and
• d) the beveled edges of the multipack blank conform to the beveled edges of the hinge-lid cigarette packs.

A multipack (10) for a group of hinge-lid cigarette packs,
