Fratello Cigars: More Than Just Rocket Science!
If you’re a cigar smoker that appreciates great cigars, created with passion and quality and you haven’t yet come across Fratello, pay attention to what follows. We recently caught up with former NASA employee, Omar de Frais, Owner of Fratello Cigars, to chat about his brand, what’s going on right now and what is in store. Much of the focus has been on the newest release from the company, Fratello Navetta, de Frais explained:
“Navetta is a cigar that’s very, very special to me. It’s the cigar that I wanted to bring to my daughter’s wedding. The blend is one that I did for the men and women of the shuttle program. They love this box because it’s very unique, it looks like the TPS (Thermal Protection System) on the space shuttle. Another unique thing we did was that the filler tobacco was single origin, from a single farm in the Jalapa Valley in Nicaragua.”
Switching gears from what is currently going on at Fratello, de Frais was excited to talk about how they’re constantly working to keep Fratello’s high quality cigars in stock. He then teased one of the projects he’s currently working on for an upcoming new release. While he was careful not to spoil the surprise, he did share a little bit about the next big thing from Fratello with us:
“We’ve grown a lot over the past year, so looking to the future we’re focusing on being able to sustain the level of production that we know we need to keep up with this massive amount of growth, while continuing to work on some very special new projects. So, I can’t tell you too much about this new project that we’re working on but the branding looks amazing and we are really excited about it. We like to take our time to make sure we are putting out good products.”
Fratello Cigars is the brainchild of former NASA employee Omar de Frais. Launched in 2013, Fratello has exploded into the premium cigar industry as one of the fastest growing manufacturers on the market.
Here’s a look at the Fratello blends currently available at Emerson’s Cigars locations:
Released in 2013, Fratello was blended with a medium body profile and a three country blend from Nicaragua, Ecuador and Peru. Spicy yet creamy, Fratello has a very clean yet full body finish.
Blended with a medium to full body profile, Bianco adds complexity to the Fratello equation. This five country blend is layered with sweetness, cocoa and a very subtle spice making it one the smoothest maduro blends on the market.
With a mild to medium profile, Fratello Oro is exuberant in smoke and flavor nuances. The creaminess, dry fruit and subtle pepper from the Dominican Ligero bounces right off the sweetness of the Cameroon binder. Stand ready to indulge.
Fratello Naveta translates the ultimate celebration feeling of our men and women of the space program after a successful mission.This very special blend carries the ultimate feeling of innovation, duty, honor and success.
