Some more Tuesday news from Fratello. Is it wrong that I find if funny that the Texas cigar needs Pennsylvania tobacco to make it strong enough? Everything is bigger in Texas, right? PA to the rescue! 😂 Enough of the PA/TX rivalry, read on about Omar’s Texas release:
Omar de Frias is proud to announce the launch of The Texan. This blend will be sold exclusively to retailers in Texas and will be part of a series of state releases by Fratello.
The blend uses an HVA Ecuador wrapper with a Sumatra binder and Piloto Cubano Ligero, Andullo, Esteli Ligero and Pennsylvania Ligero filler tobacco.
“We went full body and our largest cigar format to date. The balance of The Texan, with as much ligero as it has, is simply incredible.” said de Frias.
MSRP: 11.00
Size: 7 1/8 x 58
Box of 20 Cigars
Strength: Full Body
Factory: La Aurora Factory in Dominican Republic.
Official Launch: November 2019
Similar to the Fratello DMV, Fratello will donate a portion of the proceeds to the Texas Cigar Merchant Association.
Fratello released the DMV in November 2018 to be sold exclusively in D.C. Maryland, Virginia and Delaware. The Texan joins the ranks of a series of state releases with each being different and tailored to each state.
“We will be planning events throughout Texas for the launch of The Texan.” said de Frias. Fratello Cigars was established in 2013. Since inception Fratello has grown to be sold in 800 brick and mortars in the US and 11 international destinations. Fratello is considered one of the fastest growing manufacturers in the last five years.
