Carton of cigarettes (Fallout 3)

A carton of cigarettes is a miscellaneous item in Fallout 3.

Characteristics
A box containing several packs of cigarettes. Cartons of Big Boss cigarettes are abundant in Capital Wasteland, 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 character. They can be used as Rock-It Launcher ammunition.

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.
