Here’s news from Fratello Cigars on a line extension to last year’s Navetta release, sad to say, I still haven’t smoked it! I’ll get around to it sooner or later. You may have seen news from Fratello reported elsewhere about standardizing packaging across their lines, If you missed that and need more info, let me know.
Omar de Frias is proud to announce the debut of Navetta Inverso at this year’s IPCPR. Translated “inversed shuttle” in Italian, Navetta Inverso is all about us using the same tobaccos we used under Navetta but literally inverting all the tobaccos. The result of this change was incredible.
“It does not cease to amaze me how one leaf of tobacco can change a blend entirely. In our case we changed it all.” said de Frias. Navetta Inverso features a Habano Nicaraguan wrapper, Ecuador binder and Dominican and Nicaragua filler.
“Reality is when you use well fermented and aged tobaccos, the likelihood that the cigar will be great is high” said de Frias.
Navetta Inverso will be featured in 3 vitolas:
– Corona Gorda (5 7/8 x 46) 9.50
– Robusto (5 ½ x 54) 11.25
– Toro Grande (6 ¼ x 54) 12.50
Navetta Inverso is manufactured at Joya de Nicaragua and will be available for shipment in September. Omar de Frias worked at NASA for 12 years prior to leaving to focus full time on Fratello.
