About this cigar
Fratello Cigars, the boutique house founded by Litto Gomez, brings theatrical precision to the Arlequin line. The Gordo vitola is a study in patient construction, delivering complexity across a generous 60-ring gauge that invites a slower, more meditative smoke. The blend showcases a Ecuadorian habano wrapper over Dominican and Nicaraguan long-fillers, landing in medium-plus territory with a profile that builds layered notes of black pepper, cedar, and subtle cocoa sweetness. The extra body of the Gordo format amplifies these characteristics, rewarding the smoker who takes time with each draw. It's the kind of cigar that opens up over its length rather than announces itself immediately, making it ideal for evening sessions or paired with bourbon neat. For lounge and casino buyers, the Arlequin carries both Fratello's reputation for quality and a name that suggests sophistication without pretension. The 20-count box fits comfortably into most humidor programs while maintaining margins that reflect the brand's craft credentials.
