In addition to the SAGA Golden Age, Corporación Cigar Export (CCE) is planning another release under the SAGA name—Blend No. 7. For this release, the company is using a Brazilian cubra wrapper over a Dominican habano binder and filler tobaccos from Central America.

Golden Age is described as a medium-bodied cigar and one that has been blended for modern smokers. It will be offered in three sizes: Robusto (5 1/2 x 50, $6.49), Toro Gordo (6 1/2 x 58, $7.99) and Perfecto (6 1/4 x 54, $7.49)—all sold in boxes of 20.

The company will debut the cigars at the 2014 IPCPR convention and trade show, which begins July 19 in Las Vegas, Nev. CCE does not have its own booth, but it will be displaying cigars in the Royal Gold booth. The company expects to ship both Golden Age and Blend No. 7 in mid-August.
