Initial Thoughts:
The Fratello Navetta starts off like every cigar should – with a smooth, rich, sweet flavor and an easy draw. This is my first Fratello, and based on my initial thoughts of this cigar, the Navetta won't be my last.
The Navetta's wrapper is very smooth with minimal veins. The draw is consistent, though not so loose that the cigar smokes too fast. And the flavors are rich, yet smooth. About halfway through the flavors changed to be a little harsher and I got hints of chocolate and coffee. The harshness was barely perceptible and didn't detract from the quality of the cigar in any way.

Final Thoughts:
As I started to wrap up the Fratello Navetta Endeavor, I didn't want it to end. Even after smoking this thing for almost 2 hours, the flavors are still so good and the cigar is only just now starting to get warm.
I never had to relight the Navetta, the burn was always consistent and even, and I cannot wait to smoke another one. I would happily recommend the Fratello Navetta, and it earns a CigarScore 5.
