Tatuaje is bringing back its cigar line named for Boris Karloff, the famed actor who played Frankenstein’s monster and The Mummy, among many other roles. His career spanned some 50 years, and he even voiced the Grinch in the 1966 television special, work that earned him a Grammy Award.

Karloff was a constant shape shifter, adapting to every role as a consummate actor, so Tatuaje changes the vitola each time this limited release is produced. This year’s version is a 6¼ x 47 grand corona, the third size in the Boris Karloff line. It pairs an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper with Nicaraguan binder and filler tobaccos, made at My Father Cigars S.A. in Estelí, Nicaragua.

The original grand corona release was named halfwheel’s 2020 Cigar of the Year.

Limited Edition. Production is limited to 2,000 boxes of 20.
