For Australian adults aged 18 and over. The Virqalo adult tobacco catalogue lists four Marlboro records, and all of them share the same brand word and the same sale unit “1 Carton (10 Packs)”. Because the names look similar, it is easy to open the wrong record. This guide explains how to identify which Marlboro record you are looking at — by the exact title, the SKU and the pack format markers — using the live catalogue as checked on 4 August 2026.
It does not recommend tobacco use, does not claim that one record is equivalent to another, and makes no health-benefit claims. Tobacco contains addictive nicotine, and smoking causes serious health risks.

Which Marlboro name are you looking at?
The words that follow “Marlboro” are identification markers, not decoration. Each one is part of the exact recorded name and helps you tell the four records apart:
- Red names the standard full-flavour record (SKU SS-302). This title carries no edition or format marker.
- Hard White describes the pack style, and US Edition marks the market edition (SKU SS-313).
- Vista is the product line, Tropical Splash is the flavour-line name, and KS Box is the pack format (SKU SS-330). KS terms are explained in the catalogue size terms guide.
- Ice Blast is the ice line, Mega is the size line, 8mg is the strength marker, and Japan is the market edition (SKU SS-278).
When two names share the word Marlboro but differ anywhere else, they point to different catalogue records. Keep the full wording intact when you search, and do not treat one name as a substitute for another.
Edition and format markers change which record you need
US Edition, Japan, KS Box, 8mg and Mega are not optional words. They are part of the title and therefore part of the record identity. Country and edition terms have their own identification role, covered in the country and edition guide, and pack size terms such as KS and super slim are covered in the size terms guide. If a listing you are comparing does not carry the same marker, it is a different record — not the one you wanted.
Verify with the SKU before you compare
The most reliable check is the SKU shown on each record page: SS-302 for Marlboro Red, SS-313 for Hard White US Edition, SS-330 for Vista Tropical Splash KS Box, and SS-278 for Ice Blast Mega 8mg (Japan). If a product name or SKU does not match exactly, the records are distinct. The same method is used in the catalogue’s exact SKU record checks, such as the Dunhill Blue 6mg vs Red 6mg check. When you contact Virqalo about a product record, include the full title and the SKU.
Where these records sit in the catalogue
All four records sit under the Marlboro brand category. The brand category navigation guide explains how to move between brands and categories before checking a record. Each record is sold as one carton of 10 packs, described in the “1 Carton (10 Packs)” guide, and carton price checks are covered separately in the carton price guide.
