Definition
炸药包 literally means 'explosive pack' — a satchel charge or bundle of explosives used in military or demolition contexts. In informal slang, it also refers to gift packages of cigarettes or other goodies, playing on the idea of a 'bomb' of desirable items. The word is a compound noun, so it behaves like a regular noun in sentences.
