For cigar enthusiasts and fans of the macabre, the return of Tatuajeβs Wolfman cigar is like the resurrection of a cult classic monster movie. First released in 2011 as part of the brandβs limited-edition Monster Series, the Tatuaje Wolfman is back from the grave as the Wolfman Redux. Itβs the fourth release in Tatuajeβs Redux Monster Series and is shipping now, just in time for cigar aficionados to experience the thrill of this beastly smoke once more.
The Monster Returns: Tatuaje Wolfman Redux
Tatuajeβs Wolfman Redux, handcrafted in Nicaragua by the famed My Father Cigars S.A., offers a smoking experience thatβs both eerie and impressive. This large, box-pressed torpedo measures a daunting 7 1/2 inches long with a 52 ring gauge, making it a commanding presence in any humidor. Retailing at $13 per cigar, the Wolfman Redux brings back the same blend that made the original a hit, featuring an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper encasing rich Nicaraguan tobaccos.
What sets the Wolfman apart visually is its distinctive shaggy foot, a nod to the pelt of its werewolf inspiration. The shaggy foot adds both an element of mystery to the cigar’s lighting experience and serves as a reminder of the Monster Series’ horror roots.
A Medium to Full-Bodied Blend
According to Tatuaje, the Wolfman Redux is a medium- to full-bodied cigar, delivering a robust and nuanced smoking experience. The Ecuador Sumatra wrapper brings an earthy spice that balances the deeper, richer notes from the Nicaraguan filler and binder. Smokers can expect complexity and bold flavors, typical of the fine craftsmanship from My Father Cigars.
A Collector’s Dream: Limited and Numbered Coffin Boxes
The presentation of the Wolfman Redux cigar is just as striking as the cigar itself. The cigars come housed in coffin-shaped boxes, with the design seemingly spattered in bloodβa perfect tribute to its werewolf namesake. Only 5,000 boxes are being produced, making this a highly coveted item among collectors. Of those, 666 boxes are sequentially numbered, adding an extra layer of exclusivity for fans of both horror and cigars. Tatuaje is also holding 34 additional boxes in reserve, marked with a special βXXβ for unique occasions, ensuring that this cigar will haunt aficionados long after itβs sold out.
The Monster Series Legacy
Tatuajeβs Monster Series has become a hallmark of the brand since it began in 2008, with each release inspired by an iconic horror figure. From Dracula to Frankenstein and The Mummy, Tatuajeβs Monster Series captures the spirit of classic monsters with every blend, appealing to both cigar lovers and horror fans alike.
This year, Tatuaje went a step further by putting all 13 of its Monster Series blends into a robusto sampler pack, giving collectors and newcomers a chance to experience the entire Monster lineup. The Wolfman Redux joins the ranks of three other cigars that have already been resurrected in the Redux Monster Series: The Frank, The Drac, and The Face.
The Wolfman Redux is an exciting release for those who love cigars with characterβliterallyβand for those eager to relive the thrill of one of Tatuajeβs most memorable creations. If you’re lucky enough to get your hands on one of these shaggy-footed beasts, be prepared for a smoke thatβs as bold and thrilling as the horror icon itβs named after.
