Fratello

Bianco Nero is described as a reimagined version of the Fratello Bianco, which debuted in 2015. While this week it’s shipping to U.S. stores, international retailers will have to wait until at least March.

After a few delays, the Fratello Pocahontas is now shipping. It is limited to 200 boxes and was only offered to retailers that placed orders during PCA 2024.

The Fratello DMV Maduros are back for a limited release. Just 200 samplers will be available this year.

This newest release aims to capture the spirit of defiance and camaraderie, said Omar de Frias. Like its two predecessors, it’s a limited edition robusto with an undisclosed blend.

The Nero is a new version of the Fratello Bianco. It will debut in a single limited edition size that is scheduled to ship on Black Friday.

The second release in Fratello’s sub-brand is also a 5 1/2 x 54 robusto extra that has an MSRP of $10 each. As with the first release, its name references Prohibition.

This is a follow-up to the Fratello Arlequín, which debuted in 2019. Like the original Arlequín, it is made by Joya de Nicaragua.

The new release is the first of six planned blends, each in the same 5 1/2 x 54 vitola and each with its own individual branding.

True has been named the new vp of marketing and operations for Fratello.

Fratello says that Concealed Carry Cigars will be a collection of a half dozen different cigars. No word on what those cigars will be.

The new blend is made up of an Ecuadorian Connecticut-seed wrapper covering a binder from Ecuador and a filler blend of tobaccos grown in Nicaragua and Peru.
