Title: Flatbed Cigar Company order closed
Post by: johncw on 02/26/2014 11:05 AM
I've heard some really great things about their cigars and no one around here sells these. I was thinking of purchasing Panacea Red (habano) and Panacea Black (maduro)... I've expanded to include Black traditional and Green Pennsylvania Broadleaf
I was just going to do a 4 cigar sampler of both but thought I would check in here to see if there was any interest in doing a box or crate split on either before I made an order.

I don't have any special pricing or anything and would just sell based on the cost per cigar on the box or crate which looks like it averages around $6.30 a cigar. Plus shipping 5.80 for the flat rate box. $10 for Canada sounds to be the norm. Update Sounds like we have a 25% off coupon so the price should be even better!!!


Like I said I'm just gauging if there is any interest in this.

Thanks,
John

The owner, Paul Bush, is a great guy and sponsored a Geek Critique for me here in 2011.

Before you order, look around on the web for a discount code for the site.  Typically you can find one for 20-25% off.

That's a good bunch right there. My favorite is the Panacea Red. Yum! Can't go wrong with any of their offerings.

Flatbed makes great tasting, excellently constructed sticks.  I love the Panacea black.

I just wish that they would go back to their old bands, which I think were quite attractive.

Sorry Canada but I'm going to keep this to the US unless someone can explain a way to get cheaper shipping.

I figured I would answer your cheaper shipping option to Canada. Main thing is to stay away from the Flat Rate postage, and just go with International First Class. If you want to use the flat rate boxes, just wrap it in brown paper. A small flat-rate sized box shouldn't cost you more than $10 to ship.

A few years ago Paul told me there was a trademark lawsuit filed by Padilla against them for those old bands and their shirt logos.  He finally decided it would be cheaper to change the logos and bands rather than fight it out.

I would be willing to go in on a box split(10) of the Black Maduro. I would also like to try the Black Natural if anybody is up for a split on those also. I prefer the Torpedo or Robusto size.

Also I found a coupon code for 25% off in February so this would have to happen quick. That should equal out to around $43.50(Torpedo) per 10 pack or $40.10(Robusto) per 10 pack plus shipping. Not a bad deal

That's a shame, but I guess that they do look a bit like the old Padilla Habano (which isn't even made any more).  Now with Padilla doing everything in a lion motif, it is kind of a moot point.

I was looking to buy at least 1 box of each (red and black/maduro) or more depending on demand here. I was going to keep at least 5 of each for myself and up to 10 depending on how it split up.

coupon of 25% off would make this even better thanks

The Achilles used a similar "P" as well.  But again, now a moot point.

If that is the case I know that is expensive shipping but would open this to Canadian friends for $10 shipping.

John since this is grinding to a halt and we are short on the Black Natural box, if it's ok with Mike, you can just go ahead and move us to a 4 pack of the Black Natural. I would be good with that and if I want more I'll just order some myself later on. Besides that if somebody else will pick up the other 5 Black Maduro's, we can go ahead and order tonight with your Green order to save on shipping.

I'm fine with just dropping the black natural for now.  I think I'll have a few hours worth of cigars with the other lines that will give me an idea of what this company is about.
