Saga Short Tales TOMO VII 5" * 52

The Saga Short Tales TOMO VII is the seventh release of this storybook collection of premium cigars. Subtitled “The Tales of the Land: Navarrete,” this release pays tribute to the town of Navarrete, which is where the Reyes family harvested their first crop of the prized Piloto Cubano tobacco in the Dominican Republic. It is also the first time the Short Tales series has released a box-pressed cigar. It features a mouthwatering, dark oily Mexican San Andres maduro wrapper placed over a Dominican San Vicente binder and a specially selected filler made of Criollo 98, Dominican Olor, Dominican Piloto Cubano and Dominican leaves. This medium-bodied robusto offers a smooth creamy smoking indulgence with spicy and peppery notes. The Saga Short Tales TOMO VII is handmade at the De Los Reyes, SRL factory in the Dominican Republic.

  Saga Short Tales

  Launched in 2016, Saga Short Tales is a collection of premium cigars created by De Los Reyes Cigars, a sixth generation family owned and operated company. Each superbly crafted cigar released in the series is a different blend and vitola from the previous one.

The cigars are handmade in the Dominican Republic.
• Cigar Shape
  Robusto

  The Robusto is a short Churchill size, traditionally 5 to 5.5 inches by a 50 ring gauge.
• Cigar Section
  Box-Pressed (Square)

  A box pressed cigar is a cigar that has a square shape. Originally, this shape came from the practice of packing round cigars tightly in cardboard boxes which are then compacted using a manual press. The cigars are thus pressed into each other and become a "squarish" or semi-square shape. Today, cigar makers use square shaped molds or a wooden trunk press for their box pressed cigars, achieving a more defined square section.
• Cigar Length
  5"

  This cigar is 5 inches long, or 127 mm.
• Origin
  Dominican Republic

  Most cigars are manufactured in the Caribbean and Central America.
  The Dominican Republic is the world's first producer of cigars. Most factories are located in Santiago, in the center of the island, and in close proximity to the tobacco fields grown in the fertile Cibao Valley. While tobacco and cigars have always traditionally been produced in the Dominican Republic, many Cuban cigar makers established in the Dominican Republic after the Cuban communist revolution, elevating the quality of Dominican cigars.
