Fratello Cigars Unveils Sixth Concealed Carry Release: AA 1935

Fratello Cigars Unveils Sixth Concealed Carry Release: AA 1935

Ashburn, VA (November 2025) – Fratello Cigars is proud to announce the 6th and final installment in its acclaimed Concealed Carry series — AA 1935, a cigar inspired by the quiet revolution that began in smoky bars and dim-lit basements during America’s uneasy return to indulgence.

Two years after the end of Prohibition, the country was learning to live with its vices again. But not all battles ended with legislation. In 1935, amid the clinking of glasses and clouds of smoke, Alcoholics Anonymous was born — a brotherhood forged from the same excess it sought to overcome.

“The AA 1935 is not a celebration of vice or restraint — it’s a study of balance,” said Omar de Frias, CEO and Founder of Fratello Cigars. “This cigar reflects that duality — indulgence tempered by introspection. It’s a smoke that invites reflection on the human struggle between control and surrender.”

This 5 ½ x 54 Robusto continues the Concealed Carry tradition: small batch, limited to 1,000 canisters of twelve cigars each, with an MSRP of $10 per cigar. Like all Concealed Carry releases, the blend remains undisclosed — but its experience speaks volumes.

AA 1935 isn’t just a cigar. It’s a meditation in smoke form — where the past’s indulgences meet the present’s awareness. Each draw echoes a story of struggle, resilience, and renewal.

Fratello to Launch Concealed Carry: Bootlegger

Fratello Cigars Unveils Fourth Concealed Carry Release: Bootlegger

Ashburn, VA (March 27th 2025) – Fratello Cigars is excited to announce the fourth release in its Concealed Carry series, Bootlegger, shipping to select retailers starting March 27th 2025.

During the Prohibition era of the 1920s, when the U.S. government outlawed alcohol, a new breed of entrepreneur rose from the shadows. These were the bootleggers, risk-takers who smuggled whiskey in barrels, hid moonshine in hollowed-out books, and outwitted authorities with secret tunnels and coded messages. From smoky speakeasies to back-alley deals, they defied convention, not just for profit, but for the spirit of rebellion.

“The Bootlegger is the perfect follow-through to our popular Speakeasy cigar — both are more than just cigars, they’re stories. Tales of entrepreneurship born not from luxury, but from necessity, forced by the heavy hand of government regulation. These cigars pay homage to the boldness, grit, and creativity it took to thrive in the shadows of Prohibition.” says Omar de Frias, CEO and Founder of Fratello Cigars.

Packaged in twelve-count canisters with an MSRP of $10 per cigar, this 5 ½ x 54 Robusto follows the same small-batch, limited-edition format of the series. Like all Concealed Carry blends, the mix is undisclosed, but it promises that signature complexity smokers have come to expect.
