Initial Thoughts:
To be honest, the Fratello Navetta is one of my favorite cigars. However, when I reviewed the Fratello Navetta originally back in March of 2019, I hadn't started doing video reviews. So, today, I'm pretty pumped to be able to review (and perhaps introduce you to) the Fratello Navetta The Boxer Atlantis Torpedo.
Visually, the Fratello Navetta The Boxer looks great. It's got a medium-dark wrapper that had a slight tear in it, but that could've been caused by me. The foot features colors that are both dark and light brown, which hints at possible complexity.
Once the cigar was lit, it offered up flavors that were quite delicious and which tasted charred and toasted.
CigarScore:
Wrapper: Ecuadorian Habano
Binder: Dominican Republic
Filler: Nicaragua
Smoke Time: 80 minutes
Through the middle of the cigar, the burn was slightly uneven. There was some moisture in the stem of the wrapper leaf, and that caused part of the cigar to burn slower than the rest.
Also, the Four Roses Bourbon I paired with the cigar really brought out some spicy flavors in the Fratello Navetta, much more than I remembered or expected.
Final Thoughts
Overall, the flavors and draw of the Fratello Navetta The Boxer Atlantis Torpedo were great. The construction could've been a little better, but not by much.
I love almost everything about the Fratello Navetta The Boxer Atlantis Torpedo. The flavors are great, the construction is great, and the all-important value for the money is also great. So, the Fratello Navetta The Boxer Atlantis Torpedo earns a CigarScore 5.
