This Fratello Navetta Inverso Corona Gorda by Fratello Cigars is the sister to the Fratello Navatta I smoked last week is the cigar of the moment after having such a great experience with the Fratello Navetta Discovery.

Once lit this Fratello Navetta Inverso, black pepper, leather, and cream are the first fast tobacco flavors that I detected at the start of this Fratello Navetta Inverso Corona Gorda by Fratello Cigars, with malty flavors starting to come into the mix.

At the halfway point, creamy milk chocolate with a coffee chaser with some leather notes are now washing over my palate. The retrohale is of leather and black pepper flavors.

At the last third, dark coffee or espresso tobacco flavors are dominant with a razor-sharp burn.

This Fratello Navetta Inverso Corona Gorda by Fratello Cigars was a thoroughly enjoyable cigar, but something left it just short of the “Wow” factor of the Navetta Discovery… at least in my mind at the moment… I just may have to Spark another Discovery soon again to vet these two opposing blends.

What say you? Which is your favorite if you have one between these two cigars?

Well, I think I may have another cigar for the Cigar-Rotation that I’ve discovered for the First Time today… in the “Fratello Navetta Inverso” (Corona Gorda, 5.875” x 46)

Yesterday I had smoked the “Fratello Navetta “, the blend that is the opposite of this Fratello Inverso (thus the name)… this cigar has a Fuller, well-rounded, and balanced tobacco flavors that I appreciate… an interesting experience with the same tobacco, just turned around… More Please!

I think I’ll venture to try a smaller Vitola as this Corona Gorda still lasted at least a couple of hours while I relaxed at the Sellwood Cigar Lounge.
