What is a carton of cigarettes in French? [closed]

Question

What would you call "carton of cigarettes" in French?

Is it "cartouche de cigarettes" (f)?

Is there a specific reason you're not sure if cartouche is correct? If you google "cartouche de cigarettes" you get plenty of images of cartons. — Kareen, Oct 18 '16 at 20:58

And what did you find when you looked up cartouche de cigarettes in a dictionary? "Carton of cigarettes" on linguee. — None, Oct 19 '16 at 5:32

Yes that's correct.

A pack of cigarettes is:

un paquet de cigarettes (m)

And a carton of cigarettes is:

une cartouche de cigarettes (f)

1 pack: un paquet de cigarette

1 set of 10 packs (-> carton): une cartouche de cigarette.

On your picture: une cartouche de 10 paquets de cigarette.

I disagree. A carton of cigarettes is a cartouche, and a pack is a paquet. See for instance this wikipedia page.
