Today, Omar de Frias, owner of Fratello Cigars, announced Navetta Inverso, which translates to “inverted shuttle” in Italian. It will make its debut at this years IPCPR trade show in Las Vegas. The idea behind the blend is that is uses the same tobacco as the regular Navetta line, but in reverse order. So the tobacco previously used for the wrapper and binder are now the filler, and the filler are now the binder and wrapper.
Omar de Frias announced today a new cigar exclusive to Old Virginia Tobacco (OVTC), Fratello Esclusivo Connecticut. Last year, Old Virginia Tobacco and Fratello launched the Esclusivo, which was a 5 x 52 piramide using a Habano Nicaragua wrapper. The new blend uses an Ecuador Connecticut wrapper, Nicaraguan binder, and Nicaragua and Dominican fillers. Esclusivo Connecticut comes in one vitola, a 6 x 52 parejo. Only 300 boxes of 20 were made. Esclusivo Connecticut will sell at all 7 stores of the Northern Virginia chain.
Omar de Frias, owner of Fratello Cigars, has announced a new product for the company - Fratello Beer. This comes about as a partnership between Fratello and Adroit Theory Brewery in Purcerville, VA to create this new product in three styles.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE | FRATELLO INTRODUCES THE BIANCO BOXER - Springfield, VA (May 17, 2016) - Omar de Frias is proud to announce the company’s latest blend, the Bianco Boxer. The Bianco Boxer will be soft launched at 10 locations nationwide before making its official debut at this year’s IPCPR show in Las Vegas. “Similar to the Fratello Boxer, we modified the filler blend in the Bianco Boxer to highlight a different flavor profile from its Father the Fratello Bianco.” Said de Frias.
"I wanted to really give high praise for this cigar. When doing a blind review and coming across something so familiar, it almost gets your hopes up too much. The anticipation and buildup can end up having the opposite effect of one you'd expect. Fortunately, this wasn't completely the case for me. Sure, there were some issues related to construction, but I do feel like it was able to overcome them and give me an experience I would not mind repeating. With flavors like salt, sweet tobacco and marzipan blending together in harmony, this worked out well for me." -Doug S. (Unpossible_1)
