Unboxing the Fratello Lunar LE Humidor

The Lunar holds deep significance as a commemorative cigar tied to Intuitive Machines’ mission within NASA’s Commercial Lunar Payload Services initiative. Intuitive Machines, led by Steve Altemus, has been awarded contracts for three lunar missions. Their Nova-C lunar lander will transport scientific and technological payloads to the Moon’s surface, paving the way for future human exploration. This collaboration between Fratello Cigars and Intuitive Machines represents a fusion of artistic craftsmanship and scientific innovation, capturing the spirit of human achievement.
 
Omar de Frias, the Founder of Fratello Cigars, expressed his honor and excitement in being a part of this historic moment. The Lunar represents the culmination of a special collaboration initiated by Steve Altemus to commemorate Intuitive Machines’ momentous launch. With the Fratello brand now reaching the Moon, it symbolizes a triumph for Fratello fans worldwide. The celebratory tradition of enjoying a premium cigar after successful missions, a custom upheld during Omar de Frias’ 12-year tenure at NASA, continues with The Lunar as the ultimate celebratory cigar.

Fratello Cigars Shines at PCA 2023: Lunar Series Takes Center Stage

Hey Fratpack and fellow cigar enthusiasts! We’ve got some exciting news from PCA 2023. First off, our Lunar Series stole the show and received an incredible response. We wanted to give it the spotlight it deserves as our de facto 10th anniversary release. We’re thrilled to celebrate this milestone with captivating and unique cigars that will surely impress.

Our booth at PCA was designed to immerse visitors in the Fratello experience. We embraced an open-concept approach, allowing everyone to explore our brand fully. While the lack of distinct booth boundaries was a challenge, we aimed to create a seamless and inviting environment. Oh, and did we mention the interesting addition of rum at our booth? It added an extra touch of enjoyment to the whole experience.

Now, let’s talk about the stars of the show—the cigars! The Fratello Sorella Toro is now available as a standalone option in the U.S. market. This elegant cigar with an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper and a blend of Dominican and Nicaraguan fillers is a must-try at just $11.50 per stick.

Our Lunar Series, including The Lunar Cameroon and The Lunar Connecticut, has captivated enthusiasts since its release. Crafted at La Aurora Cigar Factory, these regular production gems offer unique flavor profiles to suit different palates. Priced at $14-15 per stick, they deliver an incredible smoking experience.

Last but not least, our Fratello Lunar Limited Edition Humidor stole the spotlight. Inspired by our NASA connection, this humidor replicates a spacecraft and represents our shared love for exploration.

We want to thank our loyal fans for their continued support and enthusiasm. We’re excited about the success of PCA 2023 and can’t wait for you to experience our latest offerings. Stay tuned for more exceptional cigars and unforgettable moments with Fratello!
