OGT Cigars and Espinosa Bring Nosferatwo to Life for Halloween 2026

Halloween has returned to Oak Glen Tobacconist, and this year’s release brings a familiar face back from the shadows.

Oak Glen Tobacconist (OGT) has announced the release of Nosferatwo, a limited-production Halloween exclusive manufactured by Espinosa Cigars. The cigar launched October 12, 2026, marking the retailer’s fifth Halloween exclusive and its first exclusive collaboration with Espinosa.

The new release revisits Nosferatu, the cigar that launched OGT’s Halloween series in 2022, while introducing a new blend, updated artwork, and a different manufacturing partner.

A Familiar Monster Returns

OGT’s Halloween cigar tradition began in 2022 with Nosferatu, a release inspired by the legendary vampire Count Orlok. The concept established a recurring seasonal series built around classic horror imagery and limited-edition cigars.

Subsequent releases included Renfield, Soul Collector, and Renfield Remastered.

For 2026, OGT returns to the character that started it all.

Andrew Drazin, who created the original artwork, returned to his sketchbook to develop an updated depiction of Count Orlok for Nosferatwo. The revised artwork continues the series’ gothic horror aesthetic while giving the new release its own identity.

The name itself is a deliberate nod to the original: Nosfera-TWO, a sequel to the 2022 cigar.

OGT Partners With Espinosa Cigars

Beyond the return of Count Orlok, Nosferatwo represents a new chapter in the Halloween series.

According to Oak Glen Tobacconist, development began in early 2025 when the retailer started working with Espinosa Cigars.

The collaboration marks OGT’s first exclusive cigar produced with Espinosa, pairing the retailer’s Halloween concept with the manufacturer’s blending approach.

The result is a Nicaraguan-based maduro blend designed around a combination of strength, spice, and darker tobacco flavors.

Nosferatwo Blend and Specifications

Nosferatwo is offered in a single 6 x 56 parejo toro format, featuring a Mexican San Andrés Maduro wrapper over Nicaraguan binder and filler tobaccos.

Blend details:

• Cigar: OGT Cigars Nosferatwo
• Manufacturer: Espinosa Cigars
• Wrapper: Mexican San Andrés Maduro
• Binder: Nicaragua
• Filler: Nicaragua
• Vitola: Parejo Toro
• Dimensions: 6 x 56
• Release: October 12, 2026

OGT describes the smoking profile as opening with a pronounced burst of black pepper before developing notes of earth, leather, dark chocolate, star anise, and espresso.

A subtle sweetness is also described as balancing the cigar’s spice and power throughout the experience.

These tasting notes are based on the retailer’s release description rather than an independent Broward Cigar Board review.

Limited Release and Availability

Nosferatwo was scheduled for release on Monday, October 12, 2026, at 5 p.m. Pacific / 8 p.m. Eastern through Oak Glen Tobacconist.

The retailer describes production as very limited, although an exact production quantity has not been disclosed.

Nosferatwo is also included in OGT’s October Cigar Society offering, making it part of the retailer’s membership program.

Pricing, packaging quantities, and a specific production total were not included in the announcement.

Why It Matters

Seasonal cigar releases have become an opportunity for retailers to create distinct products and build traditions around recurring themes.

Oak Glen Tobacconist has taken that approach with its Halloween series, developing a recognizable identity through horror-inspired names, artwork, and limited-edition blends.

Nosferatwo stands out for two reasons.

First, it brings the series back to its original character, tying the latest release directly to the 2022 Nosferatu.

Second, it introduces Espinosa Cigars as a manufacturing partner, giving the project a new production relationship while retaining the visual identity that helped establish OGT’s Halloween tradition.

For collectors who have followed the series since the beginning, Nosferatwo represents both a continuation and a return to the original concept.
