Tasting Notes

A lovely full-bodied cigar with a great balance of rich flavors. A very smooth smoke with medium strength, and no harshness at all. Beautiful in construction, draw, and taste.

Flavor notes consist of pepper, caramel, molasses, earth, and coffee. I had a nice amount of pepper in the beginning with hints of sweetness, which then transitioned into tastes of molasses, earth, and coffee. At the last third of my cigar the hints of spice returned balancing out the round flavors for a nice finish.

I liked how none of the flavors were extremely dominant, they all played off each other nicely making for a smooth smoke. Definitely great on is own- would also be very nice with a dark ale or black lager. A lot of options really, depends on your palate and what you prefer.

This was a beautiful smoking experience and a treat I would like to thank Paul Bush, owner of Flatbed Cigar Company, for giving me to taste and review.

I love discovering great boutique cigars- especially when there is a passion for quality and a story to tell from the company that produces them. Just take a glimpse into their philosophy:

“At Flatbed Cigar Company (owner/distributor of PANACEA) we are taking an Old-School approach to the cigar business. Right or wrong, it is the path we decided to take. The philosophy is: put all the money into tobacco. If we focus on making great cigars, they will sell themselves over time.

You’ll see our packaging is very basic (all cigar packaging once was), but it does its intended job, keeping the cigars fresh and safe. We do not manipulate the leaf in any way. No heating, cooling, steaming, coloring, flavoring, massaging, etc. What you see is what we started with. You may even see slight shading variances in the same box. That is OK. How the cigar tastes is really what is most important. In this age of cosmetic selling, we do have an uphill climb, but want to stay true to our convictions.”

Delighted to see it! Check them out here and give one of their PANACEA cigars a taste for yourself.
