Box Pressed vs. Round

[buzz]

Hey guys,

Is it just me or does anyone else here really like the appearance of box pressed cigars? Maybe it is the engineer in me, but those straight corners are just so dang appealing. Or maybe it is the conservation of space that I like, or maybe it is just because they are different (although those culebras are different and I think they are ugly).

I have also read that the box pressed cigars can be more flavorful and burn slower, and I suppose, are not as hot. It also seems like these are easier to rotate while smoking in order to keep a constant burn because you just have 4 quadrants to keep track of.

Just thinking out loud...

I like me some box pressed. They do smoke a bit cooler, and here in Iraq thats a plus. I've really got a thing for the boxed pressed Apex from the 5 Vegas Series "A" line.

I agree, I enjoy the look of a box-pressed cigar. They tend to, for me at least, smoke better and have a better construction. Olivia box-pressed cigars are some of my favorite.

For a while there last year I was on a box press kick. I really enjoy em, but have settled back into having a nice variety of sticks to smoke and mix up, as that is what I like best.

I like the cigar shaped ones, in my mouth, burning at the opposite end. Those are my favorites.

Yeah, those ones with the opposite end burning usually do taste better

I heard you can put a still-on-the-vine watermelon in a box when it's small and it will grow square to fit the box. Then take the box off and you have a cubed watermelon. Good for shipping them.

I never tried it though.
