Choosing between Manchester Special Edition Blue and Manchester Sapphire Blue can be confusing because both products feature blue packaging and belong to the same Manchester brand family at Gryveno. This guide clarifies the exact product names, SKUs and carton units so you can verify you are viewing the correct catalogue listing before making an enquiry or order.
Quick Reference: Name and SKU Differences
The most reliable way to distinguish these two Manchester products is by their full recorded name and unique SKU code. Both are sold as 1 carton containing 10 packs, but they have different product identities in the Gryveno catalogue.
| Attribute | Special Edition Blue | Sapphire Blue |
|---|---|---|
| Full product name | Manchester Special Edition Blue Cigarettes – 1 Carton (10 Packs) | Manchester Sapphire Blue Cigarettes – 1 Carton (10 Packs) |
| SKU code | SS-191 | SS-196 |
| Brand | Manchester | Manchester |
| Sale unit | 1 Carton (10 Packs) | 1 Carton (10 Packs) |
| Stock status | In stock | In stock |
Why These Two Products Are Often Confused
Both products share several characteristics that can lead to identification errors:
- Same brand family (Manchester)
- Both use blue as a primary colour identifier
- Same carton quantity (10 packs per carton)
- Similar product page structure on Gryveno
- Both are adult tobacco products for the Australian market
The key distinguishing feature is the product name: “Special Edition Blue” versus “Sapphire Blue”. The SKU codes (SS-191 vs SS-196) provide a secondary verification method that does not rely on colour perception or packaging imagery.
How to Verify the Correct Product on Gryveno
Follow this checklist before submitting a product enquiry or order:
1. Check the Product Title
The product page title should match exactly:
- Special Edition Blue: “Manchester Special Edition Blue Cigarettes – 1 Carton (10 Packs)”
- Sapphire Blue: “Manchester Sapphire Blue Cigarettes – 1 Carton (10 Packs)”
2. Verify the SKU Code
Scroll to the product details section and confirm the SKU:
- SS-191 = Special Edition Blue
- SS-196 = Sapphire Blue
3. Inspect the Product Image
Each product has its own verified catalogue photograph. The Special Edition Blue shows white tipping detail on the pack, while Sapphire Blue has distinct packaging design. Do not rely on colour alone – packaging artwork and text layout differ between the two products.
4. Confirm the URL Slug
The browser address bar should contain the correct product slug:
/product/manchester-special-edition-blue-cigarettes-1-carton-10-packs//product/manchester-sapphire-blue-cigarettes-1-carton-10-packs/

Common Mistakes to Avoid
When searching or referencing these products, avoid these errors:
- Abbreviating the name: “Manchester Blue” is ambiguous – use the full name with “Special Edition” or “Sapphire”
- Assuming colour alone identifies the product: Multiple Manchester variants use blue packaging
- Ignoring the SKU: SKU codes are unique and do not change; they are the most reliable identifier
- Confusing with UK variants: Manchester United Kingdom Sapphire Blue (SS-232) is a different product from both of these
