I guess the only complaint that I have against the cigar is the lack of flavor transitions over the first two thirds. The flavor that was present was good and there was lots of it. If you like an oaky woodiness with a bit of spice, then this would be a perfect match. The performance of this cigar was top notch. I had to pay no attention to the burn or tapping of the ash. With the strength of medium and the flavors that it offered, I would consider this a good middle of the day cigar or maybe the second cigar of the day if you are planning to smoke more than one.
"This is a big cigar that's not big on flavors or complexity. With a ring gauge this large, if I'm going to spend over an hour and a half smoking a cigar I would ideally like to experience more flavors and transitions." -Allison T. (The Yoga Ash)

·"I'm pretty sure I know what this stick was. It's unique enough in shape, size and overall design that there aren't a whole lot of things that it could be. If it is what I think it was, I am yet again impressed with the offerings from this company. I'd definitely be in for a fiver of these and will likely head out to my local B&M shortly to go grab a few." -Dave (mdwest)

·"Would I buy a box of these? Absolutely. Flavors were right in my wheelhouse. Very enjoyable. Will be on the lookout for more. " -Kevin J. (maninblack77)
"This cigar was very good at the beginning and very good at the end. Those two experiences were somewhat polar opposite of each other but tasty in their own ways. The middle of the cigar fell flat for me but again, not so unpleasant that I would never smoke it again. I’d love this cigar in a corona or Corona Gorda size. It’s a great cigar for fall mornings and would pair nicel with some pumpkin coffee to compliment the sweet cream of the cigar." -Diana (ArmyRN)

·"If it weren't for the draw, this would have been an enjoyable cigar. As it was, I didn't smoke it nearly as far down as I would prefer for a premium cigar, particularly for a review...it was just too much work, unfortunately. Maybe the next one will be better!" -Jason H. (Jokey Smurf)
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.
"Any cigar that does not become bitter near the end is a good one. The spices for most of the time were a nice blend of cinnamon and nutmeg with a great spice tingle. Towards the end the black licorice came in but was not over bearing. All in all this is one that will pair well with a single malt scotch. It would be a nice addition to my humidor." -Eric (smalls29)
Overall I really enjoyed this smoke, although I do feel it was a bit young and/or needed more rest from its journey from the Dominican Republic, to Las Vegas, to Denver. I really enjoyed the flavors of the second third with the toast and coffee.
