Panacea Black Classic Toro Review

Wrapper: Brazilian Maduro
Filler: Cuban seed Seco, Ligero, Olor Dominicano, Nicaraguan
Price: $6.00

Since I enjoyed the Panacea that I smoked earlier this week, I thought it would be fitting to smoke another one for review. So I went back up to the new shop near my house, The Smoking Dog, and I was asked to review this one as well. Since they are the only shop around me that I know of that sells these, it a good thing its only a ten minute drive. I am really looking forward to their new lounge opening up in a couple weeks so that I could do some reviews from there.

This cigar looks amazing. It has a very smooth wrapper, and is practically veinless. The cap is perfectly flush, to the point where I had to make sure it wasn’t the wrapper folded over. The Brazilian maduro is a medium shade of brown, and lighter than most maduros I am used to. There is a very sweet smell coming off of this stick. Almost like cedar and chocolate combined. This stick is very solid, with a nice solid foot. The clean was very clean and was very easy to light.

Panacea Red 560 Review

Wrapper: Brazilian Maduro
Filler: Seco Cubano, Ligero Piloto Cubano, Dominican Ligero, Nicaraguan Ligero
Price: $6.00 - $7.00

This past weekend I stopped into a new cigar shop that just opened up by my house. The shop is called “The Smoking Dog” and is located in Maple Shade, New Jersey. It will soon be complete with a lounge, but that room is currently under construction. So if you are in the greater Philadelphia are, please stop in a check out the store.

The owner, Jonnette, informed me that their official Grand Opening will be the weekend of October 14th. They will have their lounge open by then, deals on cigars, and even a cigar roller. When I was in there, she gave me a couple cigars to try because Panacea cigars will be featured during their grand opening. So I was happy to review a couple cigars for her. This is the first one I reviewed.

This cigars looks perfectly constructed with a chocolate brown wrapper. The wrapper if flawless with not one vein running through it that causes any concern. The cigar is very stiff with a nice soft foot that makes it much easier to light. The cap is perfectly flush, and cuts very clean. There is also a nice chocolate smell coming off the cigar before I lit it.
