Retailer Announces Exclusive Southern Draw Rose of Sharon Cigar

EASTON, PA – [September 30 2020] – Famous Smoke Shop has bolstered their Exclusivo Series of cigars, collaborating with Southern Draw Cigars on a new exclusive size of their renowned Rose of Sharon Desert Rose cigar.

“Desert Rose headlines the 2020 Fall Release Collection, offering a wider variety of smoking experiences of the blend,” said Sharon Holt, co-founder of Southern Draw and namesake of the Rose of Sharon line. A 6 ½"x 52 Toro, Holt says, “It’s a size I personally consider one of the best smoking experiences of the blend.” The Desert Rose line extension first appeared in 2019; Sharon noted, “We understand that our customers are sometimes very focused on new releases, wanting products that are specifically tailored to uniquely highlight the blend. This product line expansion is intended to address this desire for new releases while honoring the character of the original.”

Rose of Sharon Desert Rose Famous Exclusivo is made at Tabacalera AJ Fernandez in Esteli, Nicaragua with premium tobaccos hand-selected by Southern Draw Founder and Chief Evangelist, Robert Holt. The blend includes an Ecuador Cloud-Grown Claro wrapper, a Nicaraguan Habano binder, and long filler leaves from Honduras and the Dominican Republic. Modeled on Rose of Sharon’s Toro size, it’s the first cigar in the Desert Rose line to be rolled traditionally and not box pressed.

“Southern Draw has always attracted a more experienced palate,” said Famous Smoke Shop Purchasing Director, Jim Charnley. “But what we love about the Desert Rose is that it gives new cigar smokers the chance to taste more flavorful tobaccos, without overwhelming their palate. The blend is a perfect bridge between enthusiasts of any experience level. That’s why this was the perfect cigar to add to our Famous exclusive series.”

Now in their 81st year of operation as a private, family-owned business, Famous Smoke Shop owner Arthur Zaretsky noted a special connection with Southern Draw: “To work with another family-owned company, it's a connection that allows our families to collaborate so easily, and create exciting cigars our customers will enjoy.”

Production of the Famous-exclusive Desert Rose has been limited to just 250 boxes of 10. “Considering Southern Draw’s continually growing popularity,” added Charnley, “we’re expecting the cigar to sell out quickly. This is not one to sleep on.”

The Desert Rose Famous Exclusivo will debut tonight during a live virtual event hosted by Famous Smoke Shop & Southern Draw.
