Tobacco product package

1. A tobacco product package, comprising:

at least two cylindrically shaped tobacco products aligned having outer surfaces in an alignment direction;

a wrapping covering at least part of the outer surfaces of the aligned tobacco products; and

a tear strip disposed in the alignment direction along the wrapping and being configured for tearing apart the wrapping when being pulled by a user,

characterized in that

the tear strip has at least one weakening line positioned in the vicinity of an interface of adjacent tobacco products, and wherein the position of the at least one weakening line is shifted from the corresponding interface of adjacent tobacco products in a direction opposite to a tearing direction of the tear strip.

2. The tobacco product package of claim 1 , wherein:

the alignment direction is perpendicular to a longitudinal direction; and

the wrapping covers at least part of the base areas and the lateral cylindrical surfaces of the aligned tobacco products.

3. The tobacco product package of claim 1 , wherein:

the at least two cylindrically shaped tobacco products are aligned in a longitudinal direction;

the wrapping covers at least part of the lateral cylindrical surfaces of the aligned tobacco products; and

the tear strip is disposed in the longitudinal direction.

4. The tobacco product package of claim 1 , wherein a cantilever portion of the tear strip extends over a terminal end of the wrapping in a direction opposite to a tearing direction of the tear strip.

5. The tobacco product package of claim 4 , wherein the length of the cantilever portion corresponds to the distance between the interface of adjacent tobacco products and the corresponding weakening line.

6. The tobacco product package of claim 1 , wherein the tear strip is configured for tearing off at the at least one weakening line when being pulled by a user.

7. The tobacco product package of claim 1 , wherein the tear strip is attached to the wrapping.

8. The tobacco product package of claim 1 , wherein the tear strip is formed integrally with the wrapping.

9. The tobacco product package of claim 1 , wherein the tear strip is formed between two substantially parallel weakened tear lines of the wrapping that extend along the alignment direction.

10. The tobacco product package of claim 1 , further comprising at least one breaking line extending circumferentially around the wrapping and being aligned with the interface of adjacent tobacco products.

11. The tobacco product package of claim 9 , wherein the at least two weakened tear lines, the at least one weakening line, and the at least one breaking line are obtained by one process.

12. The tobacco product package of claim 1 , wherein the at least one weakening line is formed by at least one local thinning, at least one cut or a plurality of perforations in the material of the tear strip.

13. The tobacco product package of claim 1 , wherein the wrapping and/or the tear strip comprises at least one layer from paper, plastic material, or aluminum.

14. The tobacco product package of claim 1 ,

wherein at least one layer is sheathed around the outer surfaces of the at least two tobacco products,

wherein the at least one sheathed layer is joined with itself in at least one seam area or in an overlap area, and

wherein at least one weakened tear line corresponds to at least one of the seam area and/or is positioned at the fringe of the overlap area, and/or

wherein the tear strip corresponds to the overlap area.
