a lid (7) hinged to the container (2) along a hinge (8) to rotate, with respect to the container (2), between an open position and a closed position respectively opening and closing the open top end (6);
a collar (15), which is folded into a U, is connected inside the container (2), and projects partly outwards of the open top end (6) to engage a corresponding inner surface of the lid (7) when the lid is in the closed position;
a group (3) of tobacco articles (4) housed inside the container (2);
at least one marker (24), which is housed inside the container (2), comprises magnetic resonating means resonating acoustically at a given resonance frequency, and is remotely detectable by a shoplifting detector device by means of a magnetic field having a frequency substantially equal to the resonance frequency; and
