Fratello Navetta Inverso

[Eden lake]

Nicotine bomb, only smoked till halfway, then then the 2nd half the following day, over priced, overall forgettable.

Snug draw, uneven burn, touch up 2 times. Subtle notes of Nuts, cream, toast, pepper, strong peppery finish. Very attractive wrapper which will entice magpies like myself.

Much better cigars in this price point. Not sure why it ranks so high?

What was your experience?

Out of curiosity what cigar reviewers do you read? I saw ratings all the way from great cigar to dud. I find that Katman and I have similar palates and he rates the cigar at a 75, about where I put all Fratello blends that I have tried. So not having smoked that blend but knowing what Katman said and my experience with other Fratello blends I have to believe your review is spot on.

How long did you rest the cigar before smoking?

Sat in my humidor for maybe 3 months before I smoked it.

I really only watch YouTube cigar reviews. Mixture of amateur guys that put out content.

If I had had a blindfold I may have mistaken this cigar for a bundle/sub $5 stick.

Btw this is my first cigar review

What are your go to sticks out of curiosity?

I'd love to smoke Opus all day but that ain't going to happen so as far as availability and enjoyment

My time with a half dozen of the 5x54 robusto size was about the same, kind of left feeling empty. Your picture looks like you tried the corona, which I was curious about. I liked the flavors but they were so smooth they seemed muted. Chocolate and white pepper, that’s all. I think I’ll skip the corona. The robusto was good except I had to purge every one of them. The Fratello Classico and Oro has given me the same issues. I like them all but jeez, too much time spent trying to like them. Overall, not impressed with Navetta Inverso either. Navetta on the other hand, great googly, I’m in love. Inverso honestly left me feeling confused if it was a good experience or not. Thank you for the review.

Nic bomb with forgettable flavor over 2 days equal tastebud suicide. Shame it was an overpriced stick. Thanks for the review.
