When I've had a good experience with a cigar vendor, I like to pass it on.
I had a sampler of Flatbed Cigar Company's Panacea Black Torpedo (Habano) and the PANACEA Black Maduro Torpedo (Natural) and loved them both. Then I jumped in with both feet and purchased a box of their PANACEA Black Maduro Toro (6x52). In my opinion, all fantastic cigars period. Great draw, voluminous smoke, great bold flavor yet balanced body resulting in a wonderfully mellow cigar.
The box came with a had written note from the owner Paul Bush, nice personal touch. I've exchanged a few emails with him, he's a top notch guy in my book..
They also have a "Freshness Guarantee"
http://flatbedcigarcompany.3dcartsto...e_ep_51-1.html I can't say how these will be with any aging, since I've been smoking them as fast as I can order them. I have put away 5 of the PANACEA Black Maduro Toro (6x52), I'm going to try to age them. We'll see how that works out.
I ordered a box of their Black 560 (Maduro) today. Two of my other favorites are the CAO La Traviata Maduro and the Casa Magna Colorado Belicoso. For me, the Panacea line is easily right up there, if not beyond those.
So, mellow out and give 'em a try. I'd be interested to see what others say about them.
