塔图阿赫雪茄公司策划的一款名为波利斯·卡洛夫（Boris Karloff）的怪物主题雪茄预计本月发货给零售商，这款产品是2020年的塔图阿赫卡洛夫雪茄的后续产品。

波利斯·卡洛夫是已故的英国籍电影演员，1931年在电影《科学怪人》（Frankenstein’s monster）中 扮演怪物，1932年在电影《木乃伊》中扮演伊姆霍特普（Imhotep）。

塔图阿赫的老板皮特·约翰逊受这些经典恐怖电影的启发，从2008年开始陆续发售怪物主题雪茄。有的雪茄迷可能还记得2009年有一款名为波利斯的雪茄，就是皮特·约翰逊为了纪念扮演怪物角色的演员而推出的，约翰逊一直没有放弃过这个主题。

这款雪茄49环径，5.625英寸，比2020年那款卡洛夫短了一英寸，但环径没变。每支售价15美元。茄衣是厄瓜多尔苏门答腊烟叶，茄套和茄芯是尼加拉瓜烟叶。烟叶混合没有变化。

波利斯·卡洛夫雪茄是委托尼加拉瓜的老爹雪茄厂代工卷制，每盒20支，一共生产了1000盒。雪茄的口味强度是中等。

Tatuaje is either very late for Halloween or very early. Whichever way you look at it, the monster-themed Tatuaje Boris Karloff is returning to retailers. It’s a follow-up to the Tatuaje Karloff in 2020, and shipping to tobacconists later this month.

For those unfamiliar with classic horror movies from Universal Pictures, Boris Karloff was the actor who portrayed Frankenstein’s monster in the 1931 film Frankenstein and Imhotep in The Mummy the next year. Tatuaje’s Pete Johnson has been releasing cigars inspired by classic horror movies since 2008. Fans of the Tatuaje Monster Series might recall a similarly named cigar called The Boris in 2009. The idea was to commemorate the actors behind the monsters as well as the monsters themselves, and Johnson never abandoned the theme. 

Measuring 5 5/8 inches by 49 ring gauge, the Boris Karloff is a full inch shorter than 2020’s Karloff but retains the same thickness. It has a suggested retail price of $15. Both have an all-Nicaraguan blend under an Ecuador Sumatra wrapper. 

According to the company, the cigar is medium-full in terms of strength.

Made in Nicaragua at My Father Cigars S.A., the Boris Karloff is limited to 1,000 boxes of 20, or 20,000 cigars.
