Methods and apparatus are disclosed that include a housing, a top, a base, a dispenser assembly, and embedded signage, where the apparatus is configured to store and dispense an item comprising a substantially circular cross-section, by virtue of the housing comprising a plurality of walls, each of which meets another of which at one or more edges, such that the plurality of walls form a top opening at a top edge of each such wall and a bottom opening at a bottom edge of each such wall. The dispenser assembly is operable to dispense the item from the housing, at least in part, by virtue of the dispenser assembly being configured to dispense the item due to the substantially circular cross-section of the item.

A cigarette dispensing system for dispensing single cigarettes, includes a dispenser and a disposable cartridge for containing the cigarettes. The dispenser in chides housing, a support structure, a cartridge holder, and a dispensing mechanism. The housing has a front side defining a collection receptacle from which dispensed cigarettes are collected and a rear side which has an actuator for operating the dispensing mechanism. The dispensing mechanism includes a cigarette guide and a rotatable dispensing drum rotatable in the guide. The drum defines cigarette receiving formation in which a cigarette is received from the cartridge and via rotation of the drum is deposited into a chute leading to the collection receptacle. The positions of the actuator and collection receptacle at opposite sides of the housing allow retail operators to exercise control over the dispensing of cigarettes thereby to ensure that cigarettes are not dispensed to customers such as underage youths.
