Brand Story
Founded in 2013 by Omar de Frias, a former NASA analyst turned master cigar maker, Fratello Cigars has rapidly built a reputation for blending science, precision, and passion into every cigar. The name “Fratello,” meaning “brother” in Italian, reflects Omar’s philosophy of unity, friendship, and shared enjoyment—values deeply embedded in every Fratello creation. Produced in Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic, Fratello cigars combine traditional craftsmanship with a modern approach to flavour, making them a favourite among both new smokers and seasoned aficionados.
Craftsmanship & Blend
Each Fratello cigar is meticulously hand-rolled by expert torcedores at some of the world’s top factories, including Joya de Nicaragua and the La Aurora facility. Omar’s blends are known for their superb construction, slow burn, and complex flavour transitions. Fratello’s philosophy focuses on achieving balance—where bold flavours and creamy smoothness coexist in perfect harmony. Every line is created with detail and precision worthy of its founder’s analytical roots.
Flavour Profile
Fratello cigars showcase a wide spectrum of flavours, from the rich and peppery Nicaraguan spice of the Fratello Classico to the smooth, creamy texture of the Fratello Oro series. Smokers can expect notes of espresso, cocoa, cedar, baking spice, and roasted nuts, often layered with subtle sweetness and a long, satisfying finish.
