Fratello introduces Fuoco in the United States

Fratello introduces Fuoco in the United States. Previously the 3 ½ x50 Short Robusto in the three Fratello core lines were only available in Europe as a European exclusive. But after exclusivity for two years, Omar de Frias is releasing the cigars in the United States at the PCA Convention & Trade Show next week.

“We released the Fratello Fuoco in Europe in 2019 as it is a very popular size in the European market,” says Omar de Frias, owner of Fratello Cigars, visa press release. “Following its success, we are now bringing this special size to the consumer in the U.S.”

Fire

Fuoco means fire in Italian, and that might stem from the first short robusto that Fratello ever made. In the past, Fratello created a tweaked blend of the Fratello Classico for 2 Guys Cigars. It was part of their annual release of a short robusto. The series has the name “Firecracker” and all the releases feature a very long, flint-like cap.

The Fratello Fuoco will come in boxes of 30 cigars and each blend has a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $7.50 before tax. The three core lines are the Fratello Classico with its Nicaragua wrapper, Ecuadorian binder, and Peruvian and Nicaraguan filler. The second core line is the Bianco. The wrapper of the Bianco is Mexican Maduro over a Dominican binder. The filler comes from the USA, Nicaragua, and Peru. The final core blend that gets a Fuoco is the Fratello Oro. It has an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper over African Cameroon binder and filler from Colombia, Nicaragua, and the Dominican Republic.
