Fratello Cigars
Fratello Cigars was founded in 2013 by former NASA analyst Omar de Frias. The brand brings a technically curious, exploratory point of view to premium cigars, using carefully selected tobaccos from around the world to create hand-rolled blends with distinctive identities and modern presentation. Its space-inspired character reached a symbolic milestone on February 22, 2024, when, according to Fratello, a shuttle carrying the brand landed on the Moon. Fratello's manufacturing partners are Joya de Nicaragua—the first premium handmade cigar manufacturer in Nicaragua—and La Aurora, the historic Dominican cigar house founded in 1903. For Fratello, the sky is only the beginning.
