Team Cigar Review: Fratello Classico Corona
I really enjoyed the Fratello Classico Corona. The flavors are balanced and nuanced throughout the smoking experience, highlighting the best of what a corona vitola has to offer.

The Fratello Navetta Inverso Robusto had such a promising initial third. I loved the sweet and creamy coffee note with just the right amount of earthy minerals and spice. But past that point, the cigar became more average, losing out on the sweet and creamy aspects the first third was so good at showing.
Following in line with Fratello's style, the Fratello Navetta Discovery is another good example of a medium strength formula with full flavors. An easy recommend if you are a fan of Fratello's style or one to enjoy medium strength, full flavors.
If you're looking for an old school Connecticut that isn't grassy and keeps a medium and below strength level, this might be what you've been looking for. Definitely a cigar I would revisit.
Translated shuttle in Italian, Fratello Navetta is a dream project de Frias envisioned while at NASA.
The Fratello FIRECRACKER measures 3 ½” x 50 and comes with its original fuse cap, sold in boxes of 20 for $99.99 or by the single for $5.99.
This would be a perfect morning cigar with coffee. If I had more opportunities to smoke cigars in the morning, I would definitely put this in a group of a few cigars that I think capture that moment.
Omar de Frias, owner of Fratello Cigars, has resigned from NASA after more than a decade.
Fratello Oro was blended with a Connecticut Ecuador wrapper, Cameroon Binder with Nicaraguan and Dominican Filler. Fratello Oro will be making its official debut at this year’s IPCPR show in Las Vegas.
This cigar really lived up to its status as a special release cigar and I would recommend getting some if you have access. I would easily reach for more of these to enjoy.
