Boris Karloff was an avid smoker and t's not uncommon to see him in a photograph with a cigarette or a pipe. He was also English through and through, so it's not surprising to see him on a vintage cigarette card.

| Boris Karloff in his study 1938. |
Back in 1938 he appeared on a card for Ogden Cigarettes. That same year the same card was inserted in a pack of Hignett Bros. and Co. cigarettes. A quick look shows that there are a scant few of these in circulation, with the Ogden card being more available between the two. Prices these days go from the hundreds to the thousands of dollars.
Today, Tatuaje Cigars issue an annual, limited edition cigar commemorating Karloff.
