Fratello Arlequín Connecticut Robusto
Fratello Arlequín Connecticut Robusto
The Fratello brand was founded by Omar de Frias, a cigar enthusiast and former NASA executive. He perfectly combines rigorous professionalism with a passion for cigars, creating a rapidly rising premium cigar brand. The Arlequín series is inspired by Harlequin, the classic clown from 16th-century Italian theater. Its colorful and vibrant image is the soul of the series' design – the two-tone wooden boxes and plaid-decorated cigar bands all embody this dramatic artistic charm.
After the original Arlequín was widely acclaimed for its rich performance with a Mexican San Andrés wrapper, the brand launched the Connecticut version, featuring a silky Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper for a softer, more elegant new interpretation. This series is handcrafted at the Joya de Nicaragua factory in Nicaragua, continuing Fratello's consistent high-quality standards and innovative spirit, and is characterized by its box-pressed shape.
This Connecticut Robusto perfectly blends the delicate creamy texture of the Connecticut wrapper with the rich layers of Nicaraguan and Peruvian tobaccos, making it an approachable yet profound everyday masterpiece.

Flavor Evolution in Three Acts
First Third: Smooth and fresh on the cold draw. Upon lighting, the smoke is delicately creamy and soft. Fresh herbal sweetness with distinct fresh floral notes, then transitioning to fine layers of cocoa and toasted nuts, with a steady and elegant burn.
Second Third: Flavors gradually unfold, with creaminess becoming more pronounced, naturally blending with cocoa, toasted nuts, and fresh floral notes. The overall mouthfeel is rounded and silky, with excellent balance, offering a lasting and pleasant finish.
Final Third: Maintains excellent stability in the latter half, with wood and cocoa aromas becoming fuller, while delicate nutty and fresh floral notes elegantly conclude. The smoke remains cool and comfortable throughout, ending naturally with a rich yet refined aftertaste.
