The plan to release a series of cigars that would not just celebrate the monsters themselves but the actors who played them. This cigar idea became a reality in 2008 with The Boris and in 2012 with The Little Boris.
The Karloff is a Churchill sized 6 5/8 × 49 cigar with a vitola shape and has a covered foot. It uses an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper and Nicaraguan binder and filler. The tobacco blend is the same blend used for The Boris and The Little Boris but will have an "amped up" flavor and have the same ring gauges even if they are different profiles. Tatuaje will release 4000 dress boxes, each with 13 cigars.
