Carton of cigarettes (Fallout 3)

A carton of cigarettes is a junk item in Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas that can be sold or used as ammo for the Rock-It Launcher. Cartons of cigarettes are relatively light and are worth 50 caps. They are the most common of the three groups of cigarettes that are found in the Wasteland and can frequently be found in the general stores of the wastes, garbage cans, and office cubicles of destroyed buildings, often resting on desks, or on the floor.

Fallout New Vegas
In Fallout: New Vegas cartons of cigarettes are quite numerous. In fact they're found nearly everywhere. A character with a lot of space can capitalize on their value and easily make a few hundred caps from finding and selling them out in the Wasteland.

Behind the Scenes
The cigarette's brand name "Big Boss" is 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. In Metal Gear Solid 4, the series' main protagonist Solid Snake smokes a brand of unfiltered high tar cigarettes called The Boss whose package is similar to the Big Boss cigarettes of Fallout.
