Fratello Cigars has announced that it will be raising prices on its original line, as well as the Boxer Series spin-off, between 2-5 percent per vitola. The company cited an increase cost of materials.

“This is the first time in two and a half years the company has raised prices,” said Omar de Frias, the company’s founder. “We pride ourselves in producing high quality products at amazing prices. This has been our commitment since day one.”

The new prices will take effect July 21.
