Last year, Fratello Cigars and Omar de Frias released two new blends, Sorella vs Arlequin, as a part of their "Space Fresh Packs" sampler. The idea was to get market feedback and see which blend customers preferred. Back in June, the company announced that they were releasing Arlequin to the U.S. market, as that was the blend they preferred. It turns out everyone outside the U.S. preferred Sorella. So now, they are increasing that cigar to international markets.
Fratello Cigars has announced that they have hired Zev Kaminetsky as the new VP of Sales for Fratello Cigars.

Fratello Cigars is releasing a fresh pack of cigars containing two new blends. The other cigars in the pack are Fratello Classico in a new viotla, a 6 x 50 toro, and the Fratello Bianco II.
"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)
