Founded by former NASA analyst Omar de Frias in 2013, Fratello Cigars has received an impressive amount of praise for its boutique premium cigar blends ever since.

With a focus on tobaccos from countries like Peru, Cameroon, Colombia, and the jolly ol' US of A, Fratello Cigars prefers to think on a global scale... and then go into the beyond. So far beyond, that in early 2024, Fratello was recognized for being the “First Cigar Brand on the Moon.” Now that's not something you see every day. 

Back on Earth, production for Fratello's Nicaraguan premium cigar blends comes courtesy of Joya de Nicaragua, the first and oldest premium handmade cigar manufacturer in Nicaragua. In contrast, anything hailing from the Dominican comes from an even older name, La Aurora, which was founded in 1903 and to this day still makes some of our favorite vintage cigars.

So what does all of that mean for you, the cigar smoker? Well, allow us to elaborate... 

Fratello Lunar Connecticut

[Buy 5-Pack]

The story behind the Lunar CT was that it was blended to celebrate the United States' return to the moon after 50 years. And yes, it is out-of-this-world delicious.

The mixture of Cameroon filler combined with the earthiness of Mexican tobacco gives this cigar a unique character, unlike any other light cigar in the Klaro portfolio. Featuring pronounced notes of spice, leather, and cedar, this blend is a delightful choice for anyone seeking something otherworldly.

Fratello Oro

[Buy 5-Pack]

Fratello's Oro is a sweet cream and dried fruit bomb, with mild touches of pepper from the Dominican ligero leaf inside playing a key role in balancing out the nuttiness of its Cameroon binder.

Lauded for being well-balanced, and silky smooth, this blend is known for walking the line between being a rich, fuller-bodied cigar, and a sultry shade-wrapped stick. A must-try blend if you like Connecticut Shade cigars.

Fratello Bianco III

[Buy 5-Pack]

Slipping into the darkness comes the Bianco III. A cocoa, terroir, and chewy nougat-filled smoke with a Mexican San Andrés maduro wrapper and an aroma pulled straight down from the heavens.

While a Dominican binder adds a lot to the aromatics of this smoke, it is the utilization of Pennsylvania Broadleaf ligero, sweet Peruvian crops, and the spiciness of Nicaraguan long-filler that make this stick so spectacular. 

Fratello Classico

[Buy 5-Pack]

The Classico mix from Fratello Cigars is exactly that: A classic. Full-bodied and flavored, but not too heavy-handed on the strength side, this blend hits you with pepper and leather, and mixed tea spice notes.

Peruvian and Nicaraguan leaves make up the entirety of the filler, making for wonderful earthy aromas and a whole tone of depth. There's also a heavily fermented Ecuadorian Sumatran binder tying the fillers together, which is where those spiced tea flavors and a salty sweetness round out the complexity of the cigar.
