Fratello Classico Fuoco Cigar - 1 Single

Date Added: Sunday 07 June, 2026 by David

Like many others, this was my ‘try something new’ cigar and upon reading the reviews, I was expecting to be a little disappointed. However, keeping an open mind, I decided to give it a go. Firstly, construction looked good and no feeling of tightness. No problem lighting the closed foot with a decent toasting first. Then the initial taste to me was peppery/spicy rather than bitter. The burn became a little uneven during the first third but there was LOTS of smoke volume and I’d class this cigar as strong (which is good for me). Having addressed the burn issue, second third settled down, less peppery and more coffee (which some may describe as bitter), sill enjoyable. Final third, burn a little uneven again and the ash finally dropped, taste became more leathery/woody. All-in-all, an enjoyable 45 minutes with this cigar. Would I have another? Definitely yes. Would I ‘rush’ to do so? Maybe not, but it’s a good cigar, not complex but a pleasant experience.
