Fratello Arlequin
$171.00 – $189.00Fratello Arlequin is another extraordinary smoke from this great company coming to market in 2020.
With attention to detail, the Arlequin is box-pressed with a dark, oily wrapper that’s silky to the touch. This medium to full bodied blend is sporting a Mexican wrapper with an Ecuadorian binder and filler tobaccos from Peru and Nicaragua.
In 2021 Cigar Dojo rated it a respectable 90. Their description is…well….very descriptive. “The smoke is smooth in character, offering jungle-like flavors throughout, including vegetation-rich soil, ripe juiciness, and a unique Banana Runts sweetness. It’s an atypical experience that earns its place for those on the constant hunt for flavor challenges to the palate.”
In 2022, Cigar Aficionado bestowed it with a generous score of 91. Their words say it all. ” There is a rusty, reddish hue to the dark wrapper of this thick toro, which draws and burns evenly. First puffs of oak and leather are brightened by sweeter notes of chocolate, caramel and nougat. The finish hints of coffee bean.”
Whoever you believe, without doubt, Arlequin is a must try!

Fratello Oro
$156.60 – $180.00Fratello Oro is likely to be this company’s most popular cigar.
With attention to detail an Ecuadorian Wrapper combines with a Cameroon binder and a mix of filler tobaccos from Columbia/Dominican Republic/Nicaragua. The result is a super smooth smoking mild to medium bodied, very flavorful smoking experience. It’s safe to say the jury verdict is unanimous. To put it another way: Stogie Press @ 90 and Halfwheel @ 91. Add Cigar Dojo @ 91, Cigar Coop @ 92 and Leaf Enthusiast @ 95. Without a doubt Oro is a stone cold winner!
With this in mind, Oro is a great cigar for new comers. Its also a favorite of aficionados seeking a milder smoke with amazing taste and flavor. The interplay of different tobaccos provides great complexity to say the least.
