    I have been working my way through a sampler of cigars sent to me by Paul Bush of the Flatbed Cigar Company that contained each of their four Panacea cigars. I chose to try them in the order that they were released since the inception of the company and the brand. I started out with the mild and delicious Panacea Black Connecticut, followed that up with its brother the Panacea Black Maduro, and then smoked the large and robust Panacea Red 560. So now I come to the last cigar in the sampler. The Panacea Green is the blend I have been looking most forward to. It is the newest edition to the Panacea brand. According to their website they worked on this blend for over a year before it finally debuted in February of this year.

    The Panacea Green is a three ligero blend covered in a mottled brown Pennsylvania Broadleaf wrapper that has a nice oily sheen. The band is a bright leprechaun green. To be honest, it is not the prettiest of bands which detracts a bit from the aesthetics of the good looking wrapper leaf. The cigar was firm and well filled and a test of the draw before lighting revealed a nice even pull. From the very first puff on this cigar I was impressed and intrigued. It has a wonderful spice to it that is very well balanced with notes of toasted tobacco and leather and a robust earthy finish. he construction was impeccable. The burn was nice and even and the ash seemed to hold on forever. I only tapped the ash on this smoke 3 maybe four times and only for my comfort. It seemed like it would have held longer than I was leaving it. The flavors seemed to build in intensity as I progressed through the smoke. There were notes of wood, leather, caramel, and tobacco. In addition there was always that fantastic, unique spice that captivated me at the very start. I cannot say for sure, but I am attributing it to the wrapper. I wish I could be a better job at describing it. Whatever that spice was and however it might be described, I really enjoyed it and the cigar as a whole. I found it to be an excellent cigar, and one that I certainly want to smoke again.
