Flatbed Cigar Company, PANACEA
Posted by ~Ray @ 2008-11-13 11:22:09
Flatbed Cigar Company was founded two years ago. Our first cigar; PANACEA Black was introduced to smoke shops in the Mid Atlantic and North East in October of 2007. Selling from the trunk of my car. I enjoyed the company of hundreds of cigar enthusiasts shop owners and patrons alike as I made my way from DC to Boston. PANACEA is now in 42 stores and growing steadily. Most of our concentration remains in the North East but we are in stores as far reaching as Wisconsin and Louisiana.
Based in Bucks County. Pennsylvania (PA) we enjoy a great tobacco tradition dating back to 1765. Red Lion. PA (aka: Cigar Town. USA) at one time was producing 400 million hand rolled cigars a year. In addition to dozens of factories many houses in town had rolling tables where women made extra money rolling while their husbands were at work. The name “Stogie” was coined in Conestoga. PA where inexpensive cigars were made for the drivers of the Conestoga wagons. Traveling from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh the Conestoga wagon drivers were envious of the fine cigars enjoyed by their passengers. A cigar then as it is today was a luxury. Wagon drivers simply did not earn the wage necessary to indulge in cigars with any kind of frequency. So manufacturers in Conestoga began making cigars in addition to their well know wagons and priced them for the driver’s pocketbooks. [ADVERTHERE]Related article:
