The two Manchester listings in this comparison are separate Azenlyx catalogue records and should be matched by their complete recorded names and SKUs, not by the brand or the shared range label alone. Manchester Lights Cigarettes – 1 Carton (10 Packs) is recorded as SKU SS-208. Manchester United Kingdom Red Cigarettes – 1 Carton (10 Packs) is recorded as SKU SS-250. Both live records state the same King Size Classic Range, the same carton sale unit of 10 packs and the same currently listed price, but their complete names, SKUs, canonical URLs, recorded blends and attached photographs are different.
Record-by-record comparison
The table below keeps each catalogue field beside the record it belongs to. When you compare the two entries, read every field from the same record instead of mixing facts across rows.
| Catalogue field | Lights record | United Kingdom Red record |
|---|---|---|
| Complete Azenlyx title | Manchester Lights Cigarettes – 1 Carton (10 Packs) | Manchester United Kingdom Red Cigarettes – 1 Carton (10 Packs) |
| SKU | SS-208 | SS-250 |
| Canonical product URL | /product/manchester-light-blue | /product/manchester-united-kingdom-red |
| Official variant | Lights | Red |
| Product range | King Size Classic Range | King Size Classic Range |
| Blend | American | Virginia |
| Tar yield (recorded) | 5 mg | 12 mg |
| Nicotine yield (recorded) | 0.6 mg | 0.9 mg |
| Cigarette size | 84 mm length x 7.8 mm diameter | 84 mm length x 7.8 mm diameter |
| Pack quantity | 20 cigarettes per pack | 20 cigarettes per pack |
| Carton quantity | 10 packs (200 cigarettes total) | 10 packs (200 cigarettes total) |
| Listed price at check date | A$230.00 per carton | A$230.00 per carton |
Price and stock are dynamic fields. The A$230.00 figures above were read from the live records on 19 August 2026; always confirm the current price and stock indicator on the product page before ordering.
What the verified site-owned photographs show
The first site-owned image is attached to the SS-208 listing. The visible pack wording clearly reads “Manchester” and “LIGHTS”, which supports the brand and the Lights variant label in the record. The pack appears in a light colour scheme consistent with the Lights variant name, and no red band is visible in the photograph.
The second site-owned image is attached to the SS-250 listing. The visible pack wording reads “Manchester” and includes “Fine Virginia Tobacco” text on a pack with a prominent red band, which supports the brand and the recorded Virginia blend. The front view does not clearly machine-read the single word “Red”, so the variant label for this record is best confirmed from the structured product title and SKU rather than inferred from the pixels alone.
Why the SKU is the decisive catalogue key
Both records share the Manchester brand, the King Size Classic Range label, the same cigarette size and the same carton structure, and they are listed at the same price. That means brand, range, size and price cannot separate them. The SKU gives each entry a concise record key: SS-208 for the Lights listing and SS-250 for the United Kingdom Red listing. A useful check keeps the SKU attached to the complete title and canonical URL. It does not treat the SKU as proof of packaging details, origin, authenticity or current availability.
This method is also useful for other Manchester entries. The existing Manchester Reserve and United Kingdom Reserve SKU comparison covers a different pair and should not be substituted for either record here. The live Manchester category is the broader route for checking the current catalogue set before opening the exact product pages.
Blend and yield fields are recorded specifications
The two records list different blend and yield fields: American blend with 5 mg tar and 0.6 mg nicotine for SS-208, and Virginia blend with 12 mg tar and 0.9 mg nicotine for SS-250. These figures are manufacturer-stated specifications stored in the catalogue record. They are useful identity markers when comparing records, and they are not health or safety claims. A recorded yield does not mean one product is safer than another, and this guide does not make any such suggestion.
Check sale unit, price and stock separately
Both compared records currently describe one carton containing 10 packs, with 20 cigarettes per pack. That shared sale unit does not make the products interchangeable. Keep the sale-unit statement beside the exact title and SKU, then consult the live product page for changing commercial fields. Price and stock can change after this guide is published, so they are deliberately not frozen into the comparison table as permanent facts.
The product photograph may show one retail pack even when the live listing is sold as a carton. A pictured pack is therefore visual evidence about the attached record, not independent proof of the quantity offered. Use the catalogue sale-unit statement for quantity and the live page for the current price and stock indicator.
A repeatable pre-order identification check
- Read the complete product title. Retain every recorded qualifier, including Lights or United Kingdom Red where present.
- Match the SKU. Confirm SS-208 or SS-250 against the intended record rather than relying on the Manchester brand name.
- Open the canonical product URL. Avoid detached image URLs, screenshots or search snippets as the final source.
- Compare only visible image details. Use readable brand and variant words; do not infer specifications that are not visible.
- Confirm the sale unit and dynamic fields. Read the carton statement, current price and stock status from the live record at the time of checking.
Common matching mistakes
- Choosing a record from the Manchester brand name alone.
- Assuming two records are the same because both say King Size Classic Range.
- Reading the variant word from a photograph when the front view does not clearly show it.
- Using one pictured pack as evidence that the listing sale unit is one pack.
- Copying an old price or stock observation into a later comparison.
- Treating an attached photograph as proof of authenticity, origin, health, safety or product experience.
Bottom line
Use SS-208 for the complete Manchester Lights carton record and SS-250 for the complete Manchester United Kingdom Red carton record. The verified site-owned images support the visible brand, variant and blend wording, while the live structured records supply the complete titles, SKUs, canonical URLs, sale units and recorded specifications. Keeping those evidence types separate provides a neutral, reproducible catalogue comparison without turning packaging appearance into unsupported claims.
