Box Pressed

[Jbailey]

I enjoy a box pressed cigar, the Padron anniversary's are great. I got a La Flor Factory Press 1 that I've been waiting to smoke, now thats a big box pressed cigar.

I think many today box press for tradition. I also find that many box pressed smokes smoke slower than a comparable size not pressed.

You could get one of little holders!

History agrees with you and I think its got to be a great marketing tactic - differentiates the stick from all the others

I believe the Padron 000's are box pressed, but not to the same extent as some of the other brands. I like the feel of the box pressed.

I like the shape of the RP Vintage series, I can roll it around easily enough as I'm smoking and it clenches in your teeth much easier. Vital for truck drivers as we usually need both hands in city traffic.

for ~5 the macanudo robust box press is a decent smoke, I never considered that pressing would effect it's smoking chericteristics, I may try more box pressed sticks just to experiment!

i've never had a box pressed that i didn't like, but i too do not enjoy the feel

The Padron 64 and 26's are my favorite cigars. I don't know if the box press has anything to do with the flavor, but I tend to like the feel of the box press. They seem to be just as easy to hold and smoke as round cigars to me.
