Hey there, fellow cigar enthusiasts! Remember when we told you about Fratello Cigars’ exciting new project, “The Lunar” cigar line, celebrating NASA’s historic moon landing mission? Well, the journey has begun, and we’re back with a follow-up update that will leave you even more excited!
The Lunar Line is a special project in collaboration with Steve Altemus, a former NASA Deputy Center Director for Johnson Space Center and the founder of Intuitive Machines. Together, they’ve crafted three limited-production blends that are out of this world!
🚀 The Lunar Connecticut Blend 🚀 This one uses an Ecuadorian Connecticut shade wrapper, with a Mexican binder and fillers from the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, and Ecuadorian-grown Cameroon-seed tobacco. In simple terms, it’s a smooth and mellow smoke with hints of creaminess and a touch of spice. Perfect for relaxing under the summer sky! The 6 x 50 toro vitola is priced at $14 per cigar.
🌙 The Lunar Cameroon Blend 🌙 Wrapped in an Ecuadorian Cameroon leaf, this cigar has a Dominican binder and fillers from Nicaragua and the United States. It offers a bit more complexity than the Connecticut blend, with a slightly richer flavor profile. This one comes in the same 6 x 50 vitola but is priced at $15 per cigar.
Both of these blends are offered in 15-count packaging, celebrating the upcoming Nova-C launch, which aims to place a lander on the crater rim of Malapert A near the south pole of the Moon. We don’t have the exact production numbers yet, but rest assured, it’s going to be a limited and sought-after release.
🛰️ The Lunar Dominican Puro 🛰️ Now, here’s something really special! This blend is made entirely of Dominican tobacco aged for six years, providing a refined and sophisticated smoking experience. The cigars are packaged in an 18-count humidor designed to look like the lunar lander itself! Only 175 of these unique humidors will be available, priced at $450 each, which works out to $25 per cigar. If you’re a collector or just want to indulge in a true piece of history, this one’s for you!
Omar de Frias, the founder of Fratello Cigars, expressed his honor in being part of this historic moment. For 12 years at NASA, successful missions were celebrated with premium cigars, and now, The Lunar will be the cigar of triumph for this significant launch.
We hope you’re as excited as we are about this extraordinary release! As summer rolls in, make sure you have a few Lunar cigars in your humidor for those relaxing outdoor moments. Fratello Cigars and Intuitive Machines are truly making history together, and we’re thrilled to share this special moment with all our fans around the world.
Stay tuned for more updates and announcements, as there are plans to release more cigars based on future lunar landing missions. For now, let’s raise our glasses (and our cigars) to the moon and back! Cheers to The Lunar!
