Saga is a brand from Corporación Cigar Export, which is run by the Reyes family. The naming of this line is very simple as the end result was from the 7th blend that they tried, so they applied the name to the cigar. The cigar has a Brazilian Cubra wrapper, Dominican binder and Central American and Dominican filler.
Southern Draw Cigars announced that the second release in the IGNITE series will be a special vitola of The Rose of Sharon. The special and very limited release will be a beautiful Perfecto vitola, and will be exclusively available from Famous Smoke Shop. This cigar, along with the rest of the IGNITE series, will benefit Operation Cigars for Warriors. Since its release, The Rose of Sharon blend has been on many top lists in the world of cigar media, including the number 13 spot on our Blind Man's Puff 2017 Top 25 list.

·"I love everything about the appearance of this cigar. It's very unique perfecto shape and box press make for an extraordinary presentation. The wrapper is a reddish-brown and very even in color. There are no large veins or imperfections." -Emmett (rhetorik)

·"I was excited by the earthy tones of the first third and was equally disappointed with the complete change of direction in the middle. The final third, however, was a well balanced version of what I would've preferred with a cedar and grass profile. I would gladly smoke another one in the future." -Gregg (McGreggor57)

·"I bumped this one a little higher than most mainly because the overall of the cigar was phenomenal. The build was sharp, looked pleasant, and had a high end feel to it. The aromas and flavor profile that came through will please every single style of cigar smoker. Lastly, the smoothness of the draw and simpleness of the cigar experience from light and go, this cigar was top notch and should be enjoyed by as many people as possible. " -Steve (ThaGreatWazoo)
"The opening earthiness was slightly boring but once it warmed up this was a blend I would return to often. The heavy cinnamon spice flavor, a sweet buttery toast, and just the slight kick of pepper at the end made a cigar I look forward to finding out what it is." -Lauren S. (Lauren S.)

·"Wouldn't seek out this one again, but a good cigar all-around. Decent flavors, good construction & unique size. Very "middle of the road" in nearly every aspect, but that's not a bad thing." -Matt (Cigar Memoir)
"This is a blend for those who enjoy the deep earthy flavors that you usually find with Honduran or Cuban tobacco. Strong cayenne on the retrohale and just a slight sweetness on top of the earth gives the cigar a slight variation from the solid dirt and minerals that star in this stick. " -Lauren S. (Lauren S.)

·“Overall, I truly enjoyed this cigar. It was a quicker smoke and had superb flavors coming through in the beginning. The second third started well, then faded slightly, but the overall was very pleasing. Fruit and black licorice are what you will find with this stick. So, if that interests you do yourself the favor of trying these out, you will not be disappointed.” -Steve (ThaGreatWazoo)
