Fratello will release its first extension to the company’s eponymous line this month. The Fratello Boxer, a 6 1/4 x 52 box-pressed torpedo, will debut at Old Virginia Tobacco Co. in Woodbridge, Va., the exact place where Fratello tested the cigar in January.
This is the fifth size for Fratello and the first that is box-pressed. Pricing is set at $8.99 and the cigars will come in boxes of 20. It will begin shipping to retailers nationwide after the event according to a press release.
