A carton of cigarettes is a miscellaneous item in Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas.
Characteristics
A box containing several packs of cigarettes. Cartons are abundant in both the Capital and Mojave wastelands, and can be found in many locations or purchased from merchants. Like other cigarettes, they can be traded but cannot be smoked by the player. Cartons have additional uses in both games:
Fallout 3
- Like all miscellaneous items, they can be used as Rock-It Launcher ammunition.
- Jericho will smoke any cigarettes placed in his inventory.
- The cartons are a very profitable item, as they are common throughout the wasteland and can be sold for 50 caps.
Fallout: New Vegas
Cigarette cartons may be exchanged for Sierra Madre chips at a vending machine, either in the Sierra Madre itself or at the abandoned Brotherhood of Steel bunker in the Mojave.

Behind the scenes
The cigarette's brand name "Big Boss" may be an allusion to the popular stealth/action series Metal Gear and Metal Gear Solid. One of the primary characters in both series is code-named Big Boss. Cigarettes are a recurring inventory item in almost every Metal Gear game. In addition, in Metal Gear Solid 4, the brand of cigarettes used during the game is The Boss brand, the same as in Fallout 3.
