Fratello Cigars Unveils Third Concealed Carry Release: Speakeasy

Ashburn, VA (October 1st, 2024) – Fratello Cigars is excited to announce the third release in its Concealed Carry series, Speakeasy, shipping to select retailers starting October 3, 2024.

The Speakeasy blend takes you back to a time when hidden bars flourished, and patrons reveled in forbidden pleasures, cigars included. Tucked away behind unmarked doors, these underground sanctuaries came alive with whispered conversations, music, and a spirit of rebellion.

“This small batch pays tribute to the hidden bars of the prohibition era, where likeminded people gathered in secret to enjoy cigars and spirits, the Speakeasy release is meant to capture that spirit of defiance and camaraderie.” says Omar de Frias, CEO and Founder of Fratello Cigars.

Packaged in twelve-count canisters with an MSRP of $10 per cigar, this 54 x 5 ½ 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.

This NASA analyst left a $200,000 job to sell cigars

Washington Post: When I think of cigars, I think of endless tobacco fields and warehouses where the leaves dry. I think of open-air factories where dozens of “rollers” hand-make the cigars under the soft rotation of overhead fans while “lectors” — readers — help workers pass the time by reading aloud from newspapers and books.

I think of wood-paneled, clubby tobacco shops such as New York’s Nat Sherman, W. Curtis Draper in the District and Georgetown Tobacco, lined with glass cases full of boxes packed with stogies. I think of walk-in humidors rich with the aroma of tobacco.

What he does have is a successful cigar brand. His Springfield, Va.-based Fratello Cigars is on track this year to sell $2 million worth from Chicago to Amsterdam. That comes to almost 250,000 smokes and around $1 million in gross revenue.

The former NASA project analyst walked away from a $200,000 (benefits included) job last fall to pursue an enterprise whose biggest assets are his smarts and persistence.
