What would you call "carton of cigarettes" in French?
Is it "cartouche de cigarettes" (f)?

3Is 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.– KareenOct 18, 2016 at 20:58

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. Oct 19, 2016 at 8:34
