Fratello
Fratello cigars were launched in 2013 by Omar de Frias and are produced across Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic. The portfolio ranges from the Nicaraguan-focused Classico and Mexican-wrapped Bianco to the NASA-inspired Navetta collection, regional DMV releases, and the Connecticut and Habano expressions of the Camo series.

Fratello Cigars: Blends, Wrappers and Vitolas
Fratello uses tobacco from several growing regions to create distinct cigar families rather than a single house blend. Classico combines Nicaraguan wrapper tobacco with an Ecuadorian binder and Nicaraguan and Peruvian fillers, while Bianco changes the structure substantially with a Mexican wrapper over Dominican binder and a multinational filler blend.
Other collections extend the range through darker Navetta blends, the reversed tobacco composition of Navetta Inverso, regional DMV releases, and the Connecticut and Habano options found in the Camo series. Comparing the cigar family and wrapper first, followed by strength and vitola, provides the clearest way to navigate the available Fratello selection.
Popular Fratello Cigar Collections
Fratello Classico
Classico is one of Fratello's original core blends. It uses a Nicaraguan wrapper over an Ecuadorian binder with Nicaraguan and Peruvian filler tobaccos. Current Cigars N Cigars inventory includes Classico in Corona, Robusto, Toro, Piccolo, and box-pressed Torpedo formats, providing several dimensions for comparing the same core blend.
Fratello Bianco
Fratello Bianco is the Maduro expression within the original core collection. The blend uses a Mexican wrapper over Dominican binder tobacco with filler from the United States, Nicaragua, and Peru. Current Cigars N Cigars selections include Bianco III Robusto, Bianco IV Gran Toro, and The Boxer box-pressed Torpedo.
Fratello Classico vs. Bianco
Classico and Bianco provide a useful comparison within Fratello's core portfolio. Classico uses a Nicaraguan wrapper and Ecuadorian binder, while Bianco moves to a darker Mexican wrapper and Dominican binder. Both incorporate Nicaraguan and Peruvian filler tobaccos, but their different wrapper and binder combinations create two distinct expressions within the original Fratello lineup.
Fratello Navetta
Navetta is Fratello's NASA-inspired collection and uses aged tobaccos in a fuller blend. Its vitola names reference space shuttles, including Discovery and Atlantis. Current Cigars N Cigars inventory includes Navetta Robusto Discovery and The Boxer Atlantis, with Ecuadorian Oscuro wrapper tobacco listed on current selections.
Fratello Navetta Inverso
Navetta Inverso takes the tobacco components associated with Navetta and reverses their positions to create a separate medium-bodied expression. Current Cigars N Cigars inventory includes Inverso in Corona, Robusto, Corona Gorda, and Toro Grande formats, providing several sizes within the same blend family.
Fratello Navetta vs. Navetta Inverso
Navetta and Navetta Inverso are closely related blends with different tobacco placement. Navetta presents the original, fuller configuration, while Inverso reverses the tobacco structure for a more moderate expression. The pair provides one of the most technically distinctive comparisons within the Fratello portfolio.
Fratello Camo
Camo is Fratello's value-oriented long-filler series and is produced in several wrapper variations. Current Cigars N Cigars inventory includes Camo Verde with an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper and Camo Rosso with Ecuadorian Habano, both available in Robusto and Toro formats. These two blends provide a straightforward comparison between lighter Connecticut and richer Habano wrapper styles.
Fratello DMV Cigars
The Fratello DMV series was developed around Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Virginia, the region where the company began. Individual releases use different tobacco compositions rather than repeating a single blend. Current Cigars N Cigars inventory includes Washington D.C. with an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper and Delaware with Brazilian Arapiraca.
Where Are Fratello Cigars Made?
Fratello cigars are produced in both Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic depending on the collection. Current Cigars N Cigars inventory includes Nicaraguan-made Classico, Bianco, Navetta, and Inverso selections alongside Dominican-made Camo and DMV releases. Tobacco origin also varies by blend, with components sourced from Nicaragua, Ecuador, Mexico, Peru, the Dominican Republic, the United States, and other growing regions.
Fratello Corona, Robusto, Toro and Box-Pressed Cigars
Fratello produces traditional Corona, Robusto, and Toro formats along with Piccolo, Toro Grande, Gran Toro, 6 x 60, and box-pressed Torpedo sizes. Several collections offer multiple vitolas within the same blend, allowing shoppers to select the tobacco composition first and then compare cigar dimensions.
