Ok guys, who wants to try out one of the latest smokes from Panacea called the Pennsyltucky? It's a Kentucky Fire Cured cigar with the infamous PA Broadleaf wrapper (the Greens). First come, first served.

This should be a quick fill.  Panacea cigars are so worth it.

Im already lined up for a review. However, if you cant find anyone else. I would toss my hat into this.

If you need a body I up for another, although I just did one it would be nice to compare this with the DE Kentucky fire cured.  :biggrin:

I think I'll keep this Con US just because I've never shipped to the Great White North and this is a fairly quick turnaround. I will definitely keep you in mind for a future one though.

Sounds good Neal. One more spot. Who wants to try the next cigar from Panacea?
Title: Re: May Industry Sponsored Geek Critique (First Two Weeks)
Post by: StogieDad on 04/01/2015 10:57 AM
I'm doing the second set for April, or I would certainly jump in.  Surely somebody wants that Panacea, they make great smokes.  I have a few of those simmering right now in fact.....

Save a few bucks on freight and send mine and johncw's together.  Either address will do...

All right, thanks for the update Kerry. I will take my lighter and cutter to the mail box with me so I can get it in on time. :biggrin:

It showed up in the mail today. Thank's for the companions, they make all the pain of having to smoke this so quickly at least bearable. :biggrin:

Glad they arrived guys. According to the tracking, everyone should get theirs today, so hopefully a few extra days to get the reviews in. Thanks again guys.

OK, my review is in. Thanx for letting me try one of these. A lot of difference between this and the other fire cured smokes I have tried.

Post by: nwb on 04/21/2015 06:28 PM
Thanks for getting these out, Kerry, and it looks like folks will have 5 days to get them in, so plenty of time.  If anyone needs a day or two extra, please let me know.

Can everyone who hasn't already confirm receipt?
