A pack for cigarettes (10), comprising a dimensionally stable outer pack (12), in particular configured in the form of a hinge-lid box, and also comprising an inner pack (11) configured in the form of a sealed block with an inner wrapper (14) made of preferably aroma-tight and moisture-tight, thermally sealable sheet material for wrapping a cigarette group (13) and having an inner collar (46) partially enclosing the cigarette group (13), wherein the inner pack (11), in the region of an inner end wall (41) and in an adjacent region of an inner front wall (39), has a removal opening (51) with a closure label (54) which can be used a number of times, comprising:

• a) the inner collar (46) of the inner pack (11) has at least one front wall or upper wall (47), lateral supporting walls (48), and a collar base (50);
• b) the inner collar (46) has a longitudinal dimension, in particular in the region of the upper wall (47), corresponding essentially to a corresponding dimension or height of the inner pack (11);
• c) the upper wall has a recess (49) in a region facing the removal opening (51) of the inner pack;
• d) the lateral supporting walls (48) and the collar base (50) are fixed in the folded position, namely by abutment against the cigarette group (13), in particular by additional folding flaps which ensure a form-fitting and/or force-fitting retaining position;
• e) corner flaps (60) arranged on the supporting walls (48) in continuation of the supporting walls (48);
• f) the corner flaps (60) are delimited from the collar base (50) by punching lines (61) and folded via a folding line to butt against the inside of the collar base (50) when the collar base (50) is erected;
• g) the collar base (50) and the corner flaps (60) are fixed in a folded position on account of the form-fitting and/or force-fitting anchoring;
• and
• h) a retaining tab (62), an insertion tongue (86), and a retaining slot (87),
• wherein an arrangement, on a free periphery of the collar base (50), of the retaining tab (62) which, in the folded position in abutment against the inside of the collar base (50), fixes the corner flaps (60), in the folded position, in a form-fitting manner, in particular by plug-in connection, that is to say by virtue of the insertion tongue (86), which is connected to the retaining tab (62), being introduced into the retaining slot (87) in the region of a folding edge or folding line (59) between the upper wall (47) and the collar base (50).
