Fratello
Fratello Cigars is a modern premium cigar brand founded by Omar de Frias, a former NASA employee who turned his passion for cigars into one of the most distinctive names in the contemporary cigar industry.
Launched in 2013, Fratello – meaning “brother” in Italian – was created around the idea of bringing people together through a shared appreciation of great cigars. Omar de Frias spent more than a decade working at NASA before taking the leap into the cigar business, bringing with him an unconventional background and a fresh approach to traditional cigar making.
Fratello cigars are handcrafted using carefully selected tobaccos from some of the world's most respected growing regions. The brand has become known for creating well-balanced, flavourful blends that combine traditional craftsmanship with a distinctly modern character.
Rather than following a single house style, the Fratello portfolio explores a variety of wrappers, origins and flavour profiles. Smokers can expect everything from smooth, aromatic and approachable cigars through to richer, fuller-bodied blends offering notes of earth, cedar, coffee, cocoa, spice and natural sweetness.
The brand's connection with space exploration remains an important part of its identity. Several Fratello releases take inspiration from Omar's years at NASA, giving the range an instantly recognisable character while maintaining the focus firmly on the quality of the tobacco and the smoking experience.
Today, Fratello has developed an international following among cigar enthusiasts looking for something a little different from the traditional names of the cigar world. With imaginative blends, distinctive presentation and an intriguing story behind the brand, Fratello represents a new generation of premium cigar making.
