I find the initial light is a little harsh, but they warm up rather nicely. Give them some time and enjoy it.

My 1st ever box was the 5 Vegas Gold Double-Nickel Box Press. Really enjoy those as an "everyday" or "course" smoke.

Yes, the whole rolling around thing is nice. I just think they smoke well. Very even. Also, they are GREAT for fitting into a humidor. Cram them in nicely.

I actually have quite a few box pressed cigars and I enjoy them immensely. I have heard that the pressing can make for a tough draw, but that has not been my experience personally.

I had a couple of box pressed cigars and the ones that i had did not burn that evenly maybe they where not rolled right of something.

I like 'em. Not sure if I'd say I prefer them, but I definately like 'em.

Haven't had any burn issues with them (knock on wood), unlike rounded cigars. And so far I've not tasted a differance in flavor.

I like a few cigars that are box pressed, but in general I prefer traditional round. Most of the bp'd sticks I've had end up rounding out a lot toward halfway or so causing a looser draw which annoys me . The Nepalese Warrior is the one consistent exception in my experience.

Like Anton, though, the IT Super Fuerte is one of my staples.

I kind of like them. I don't notice any difference in the flavors in a box pressed stogie.

I have notice that they have slight burn issues most of the time for me but nothing too bad.
