Looking for a Manchester cigarette carton in Australia and unsure whether the Sapphire Blue (SKU SS-196), Reserve (SKU SS-204) or Lights (SKU SS-208) carton is the one you want? All three Manchester cartons are currently listed at A$195.50 per carton (regular A$230.00) and are in stock at Qorvynx, so the difference comes down to which variant matches the pack you normally buy. This comparison records the verified name, SKU, carton size and live AUD price of each variant so you can check your usual pick at a glance.
Why the Carton Comparison Matters in Australia
Australian cigarette prices are among the highest in the world, and a single carton (1 carton = 10 packs) is the standard buying unit for most smokers who want to reduce the cost per pack. Because excise drives the final shelf price, the recorded carton price matters more than the per-pack figure in most searches. Every price below was read live from the Qorvynx WooCommerce catalogue on the publication date and is presented as a record, not a promise. The SKU is the most reliable way to tell variants apart, because product names can be shortened in search results while the SS-code stays unique to each catalogue entry.
Manchester Sapphire Blue (SKU SS-196)
Manchester Sapphire Blue is a regular Manchester line often searched by shoppers who want the blue-package Manchester look. The catalogue entry reads Manchester Sapphire Blue Cigarettes – 1 Carton (10 Packs), SKU SS-196. Current price: A$195.50 (regular A$230.00), stock status instock. You can open the product page directly: Manchester Sapphire Blue carton page.
Manchester Reserve (SKU SS-204)

Manchester Lights (SKU SS-208)

If any cell differs from what you see on the product page at a later date, the product page is the live source of truth.
How to Choose Between the Three Manchester Cartons
Because the verified carton price and stock status are identical across SS-196, SS-204 and SS-208, the practical choice depends on matching the Manchester variant you normally buy rather than the price. If you usually pick the blue Manchester pack, start with Sapphire Blue SS-196. If your regular purchase is the Reserve line, go to SS-204. If you buy Manchester Lights, the matching carton is SS-208. The full Manchester range is listed on the Manchester category page, where every variant shows its own SKU and live AUD price. Reading the range as one catalogue is easier when you treat the SKU as the identifier and the price as a record that can move with excise changes.
Stock and Availability Notes
All three Manchester variants in this comparison were instock when the data was pulled from the WooCommerce catalogue. Stock status in this catalogue is a simple instock indicator and does not include quantity figures, so a carton can be listed as instock with limited availability at busy times. If a variant you want is out of stock when you check, the same Manchester range includes other SS-coded cartons on the category page, and each listing can be rechecked directly for its current status.
Checking Your SKU Against the Catalogue
Every Qorvynx carton product carries a unique SKU in the catalogue, and the quickest way to confirm you are looking at the right variant is to compare the SKU on the product page with the one printed on your usual purchase.
