Manchester Double Drive Blueberry Mint cigarette pack

The Xavqeno Parenthetical Parser records Manchester cigarette titles exactly as they appear in the live catalogue: one carton, ten packs, and every parenthesis preserved. This brand record collects the Manchester title patterns so a reader can verify a carton identity before ordering in Australia. Manchester is the largest brand group in the Xavqeno catalogue, and its title shapes show how the same editorial rule applies across many similar records.

Recorded Manchester title fields

Manchester entries in the Xavqeno catalogue follow a stable title shape: Manchester + edition or style + Cigarettes – 1 Carton (10 Packs). The unit parenthesis (10 Packs) is part of the record and is never dropped. A carton always means ten individual packs, and the AUD price is quoted per carton, not per pack.

Examples from the live catalogue: Manchester Double Drive Blueberry Mint Cigarettes – 1 Carton (10 Packs), Manchester United Kingdom Red Cigarettes – 1 Carton (10 Packs), Manchester United Kingdom Sapphire Blue Cigarettes – 1 Carton (10 Packs), Manchester United Kingdom Reserve Cigarettes – 1 Carton (10 Packs), Manchester Special Edition Blue Cigarettes – 1 Carton (10 Packs), Manchester Lights Cigarettes – 1 Carton (10 Packs), Manchester Reserve Cigarettes – 1 Carton (10 Packs), Manchester Sapphire Blue Cigarettes – 1 Carton (10 Packs), and Sapphire Blue Cigarettes – 1 Carton (10 Packs). Each of these is a distinct title record with its own SKU, even when two titles share the word Manchester.

The parser treats each of these as a separate field sequence. “United Kingdom” is a style field in three records, while “Double Drive Blueberry Mint” is a style field in one. The order of fields matters: Xavqeno never reorders a title to make it read more smoothly, because the record exists to show what the catalogue actually says.

Parenthesis and number handling

Manchester titles in the current catalogue carry one recurring parenthetical element: the unit note “(10 Packs)” inside “- 1 Carton (10 Packs)”. Xavqeno preserves that parenthesis in every record. When a title contains no other parenthesis, the record says so rather than adding one.

The parser rule is simple: transcribe what the title says, keep the exact word order, and do not convert a parenthetical note into a marketing statement. If the title does not state a number, the record does not invent one. If a future Manchester record were to include a numeric field such as 6mg or 10mg, it would be recorded as a literal field, not as a strength guarantee or a composition claim.

Numbers that do appear in the unit note, such as “1 Carton” and “10 Packs”, are structural facts of the sale unit. They are recorded consistently so that a reader can compare carton quantities across brands without guessing.

Identity check

Every Manchester record pairs the full title with a SKU and a live AUD price. The SKU is the stable identity anchor: it does not change when a carton sells out or when a price is refreshed. Prices are read live from the catalogue on the day of writing.

  • Manchester Double Drive Blueberry Mint – SKU SS-1779, A$250.00
  • Manchester United Kingdom Red – SKU SS-250, A$230.00
  • Manchester United Kingdom Sapphire Blue – SKU SS-232, A$230.00
  • Manchester United Kingdom Reserve – SKU SS-218, A$230.00

  • Manchester Reserve – SKU SS-204, A$230.00
  • Manchester Sapphire Blue – SKU SS-196, A$230.00

To confirm any of these records, match the SKU and the exact full title on the corresponding product page. The price may move, but the SKU and title stay constant.

Catalogue context

The Manchester category holds nine carton records in the Xavqeno catalogue, more than any other brand. The brand sits alongside ESSE, Marlboro, MEVIUS, Dunhill, Kent and Double Happiness. Each brand uses the same editorial method: transcribe the title, keep the parentheses, anchor the SKU, and publish a live price.

Within the journal, Manchester records connect to the wider editorial work on parentheses and numeric fields. A reader comparing brands can rely on the same transcription rules in every category, which keeps the catalogue internally consistent.

FAQ

Does the (10 Packs) parenthesis change the product identity?

No. It records the sale unit: one carton contains ten individual packs. The identity is anchored by the SKU, not by the unit note.

Are Manchester cartons priced per pack or per carton?

Per carton. The AUD price on the record and on the product page is the price for one complete carton of ten packs.

Why are some Manchester titles very similar?

Because the catalogue transcribes each title verbatim. Two records can share most of their words and still be separate records with separate SKUs. The SKU is the way to tell them apart.

Does Xavqeno interpret Manchester as a UK brand in these records?

No. The parser only transcribes the words in the title. A title that contains the word “United Kingdom” is recorded with that wording, but Xavqeno does not add an origin inference beyond the literal title text.

Can I use the SKU to verify a carton before ordering?

Yes. Compare the SKU and the exact full title with the product page. If both match, you are looking at the same record in the Xavqeno catalogue.
