For Australian adults aged 18 and over. The Virqalo adult tobacco catalogue lists several Manchester records, and three of them carry the words “United Kingdom” in their exact titles. Because the three names look similar and the records share the same sale unit and, at the time of writing, the same displayed price, it is easy to open the wrong one. This guide explains how to identify which Manchester United Kingdom edition record you are looking at — by the exact title, the SKU and the final descriptor — using the live catalogue as checked on 5 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.
The three Manchester United Kingdom records in the live catalogue
The live Manchester brand category contained nine records when this guide was checked on 5 August 2026. Three of them include “United Kingdom” in the exact displayed name:
| Exact record title | SKU | Current price (5 Aug 2026) | Regular price | Stock at check |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Manchester United Kingdom Red Cigarettes – 1 Carton (10 Packs) | SS-250 | A$196.42 | A$230.00 | In stock |
| Manchester United Kingdom Reserve Cigarettes – 1 Carton (10 Packs) | SS-218 | A$196.42 | A$230.00 | In stock |
| Manchester United Kingdom Sapphire Blue Cigarettes – 1 Carton (10 Packs) | SS-232 | A$196.42 | A$230.00 | In stock |
All three records are sold as one carton containing 10 individual packs. Prices and stock can change, so open the current product page to confirm before you decide.
What “United Kingdom” means in the record name
The words “United Kingdom” are part of each record’s exact catalogue title. They are not decoration and should not be dropped from a search. On Virqalo, country and edition qualifiers such as “US Edition”, “Japan”, “Vietnamese” and “United Kingdom” help narrow a search to one exact record; a general explanation of these qualifiers is available in How Country and Edition Terms Identify Exact Cigarette Records. For the Manchester family, the qualifier separates three records from the standard Manchester listings that do not carry it.
Which UK edition record are you looking at?
Within the United Kingdom series, the final descriptor word identifies the record, and the SKU confirms it:
- Red — Manchester United Kingdom Red Cigarettes – 1 Carton (10 Packs), SKU SS-250.
- Reserve — Manchester United Kingdom Reserve Cigarettes – 1 Carton (10 Packs), SKU SS-218.
- Sapphire Blue — Manchester United Kingdom Sapphire Blue Cigarettes – 1 Carton (10 Packs), SKU SS-232.
If you search for “Manchester United Kingdom” alone, you will reach the brand family but not a finished identity check. Match the complete wording — brand, qualifier, descriptor and carton description — together with the SKU. These three records are separate catalogue entries and are not substitutes for one another.
UK edition records vs the standard Manchester records
The Manchester category also contains standard records without the “United Kingdom” qualifier. Two of them share a descriptor word with the UK series, which is the most common source of confusion:
- Reserve: Manchester Reserve Cigarettes – 1 Carton (10 Packs) (SKU SS-204) is a different record from Manchester United Kingdom Reserve (SKU SS-218).
- Sapphire Blue: Manchester Sapphire Blue Cigarettes – 1 Carton (10 Packs) (SKU SS-196) is a different record from Manchester United Kingdom Sapphire Blue (SKU SS-232). The two-record Sapphire Blue distinction is explained in Manchester Sapphire Blue: How to Distinguish Two Exact Catalogue Records. A third, separately named Sapphire Blue Cigarettes – 1 Carton (10 Packs) (SKU SS-214) also exists in the same category.
Two useful recovery facts follow from the live catalogue:
- There is no standard “Manchester Red” record. If a search for “Manchester Red” returns no match, the record you are likely looking for is the United Kingdom edition Red, SKU SS-250.
- Manchester Lights (SKU SS-208) and Manchester Special Edition Blue (SKU SS-191) currently have no United Kingdom counterparts, so a “United Kingdom” version of those names is not a live record.
How to verify a Manchester record before you decide
Before checkout, open the product page and confirm the exact title, the SKU, the current A$ price and the stock state. The carton unit is part of the title — see How to Read “1 Carton (10 Packs)” in a Cigarette Product Listing — and the price fields on the page are explained in How to Check a Cigarette Carton Price in Australia Before Ordering. For guidance on the stock indicator, see What “In Stock” Means on a Cigarette Product Record. If the page you land on does not match the title and SKU you searched for, contact the Virqalo editorial desk with the exact record details.

In the live Virqalo catalogue, the Red record is listed as Manchester United Kingdom Red Cigarettes – 1 Carton (10 Packs), SKU SS-250. There is no separate standard “Manchester Red” record. Match the full title and the SKU rather than the short phrase.
Do the three United Kingdom edition records cost the same?
At the 5 August 2026 check, all three displayed the same current price of A$196.42 with a regular price of A$230.00. Prices can change, so confirm the amount on the current product page before checkout.
Which SKU belongs to Manchester United Kingdom Sapphire Blue?
SKU SS-232. It is a distinct record from Manchester Sapphire Blue Cigarettes (SKU SS-196) and from Sapphire Blue Cigarettes (SKU SS-214).
Are these records interchangeable?
No. Each record has its own exact title and SKU in the catalogue. They are separate entries and should not be treated as equivalent or as substitutes for one another.
