The blend uses an HVA Ecuador wrapper, Sumatra binder, and Piloto Cubano Ligero, Andullo, Esteli Ligero and Pennsylvania Ligero filler. The Texan comes in one vitola, a 7 1/8 x 58 double churchull in boxes of 20. The price per cigar is $11. It is rolled at the La Aurora Factory in the Dominican Republic. The Texan will ship November.
“We went full body and our largest cigar format to date. The balance of The Texan, with as much ligero as it has, is simply incredible.” said de Frias.
As with the Fratello DMV, a portion of the proceeds will go to the Texas Cigar Merchant Association. Fratello released the DMV in November 2018 exclusively for D.C. Maryland, Virginia and Delaware.
“We will be planning events throughout Texas for the launch of The Texan.” said de Frias.
