Manchester Sapphire Blue Cigarettes: Smoothness and Strength
Manchester Sapphire Blue Cigarettes: Smoothness and Strength
Adults only (18+). Manchester Sapphire Blue is the reference light cigarette in the Manchester range — the blue pack that sits between the mildest blues and the mid-strength Reserve. This review records what the catalogue and the brand's own pages actually say about it, so adult smokers can judge whether the line fits their draw.
What Sapphire Blue is
Sapphire Blue belongs to the round-corner "next generation" family of the Manchester range, along with Royal Red and Reserve. The brand's product pages describe the next generation range as a balanced blend with a smooth, refined profile, and they record Sapphire Blue at a 5 mg tar level — the light reading you would expect from a blue pack. The current SoulsSky listing is Manchester bleu saphir, priced at A$149.50, bundled as 10 packs of 20 cigarettes plus one additional pack of 20.
Taste and draw
Because the brand positions Sapphire Blue in the smooth part of the range, the expected character is light on the throat with a clean, mild finish — a cigarette for smokers who want a regular brand they can smoke without the heaviness of the red packs. A 5 mg tar reading is a mid-light figure: lighter than Reserve at 7 mg, but not the very lightest blue, which is Light Blue. As with any cigarette, light and smooth describe taste, not safety; the health notice at the end of this article applies to every line in the range.
How it compares in the blue family
- Manchester bleu saphir (A$149.50) — the reference light blue, 5 mg tar per brand pages.
- Manchester bleu clair (A$149.50) — the lighter member of the blue family, for the mildest draw. See the Light Blue vs Sapphire Blue guide.
- Manchester United Blue (A$149.50) — the medium blue in the UK line, a step up in body. See the United Blue vs Red guide.
If you already know the red packs are too heavy for you, Sapphire Blue is the natural first blue to check; if even Sapphire Blue feels strong, move down to Light Blue.
Sapphire Blue across the catalogue
The SoulsSky catalogue carries the Sapphire Blue name in more than one listing: alongside the United Kingdom edition linked above, the store lists a plain Manchester Sapphire Blue entry, and both currently sit at the same A$149.50 price point and describe the same light blue character. When you open the Manchester category page you will see all records side by side; compare the listing name and the product image, then confirm the live price on the product page for the exact listing you intend to order.
Price and catalogue position
Manchester Sapphire Blue is listed at A$149.50 in the current SoulsSky catalogue, the same price as most Manchester lines except Royal Red at A$143.00 and Double Drive at A$162.50. Full price details across the range are in the Manchester price guide. Prices can change without notice and the product page is the authoritative live record.
Who is Sapphire Blue for?
This line suits adult smokers who want a light, smooth cigarette from a single brand across the whole range: start on Sapphire Blue, drop to Light Blue when you want less body, and step up to Reserve or the reds when you want more. The wider family context is in the Manchester range guide, and the full strength ordering is in the Manchester strength guide. For catalogue and policy checks, the existing Manchester catalogue guide remains the reference.
If you are moving between brands, the same smooth blue logic applies: Sapphire Blue behaves like the light entry of the Manchester range, so comparing it with the light lines of other brands in the store is a fair starting point. The price guide keeps the numbers side by side.
