Is there a reason for boxpressing cigars, or is it just for the sake of it?
Thanks in advance,
Thanks in advance,
What are "box-pressed" cigars?
"Box-pressed" or "square-pressed" is when the cigars are literally "pressed" into the box so the box pressure creates a perfectly square shape. This was done originally to save shipping space and as a result, the process supposedly causes the cigars to burn longer, giving the smoker a more flavorful smoke. Good examples of box-pressed cigars include, Aspira, Don Tomas Dominican Selection, Padron Anniversary, Perdomo La Tradición, and Sancho Panza, to name a few.
if I remeber right from the Ultimate cigar book it was origanly done to stop the cigar from rolling off the table rp
Well, I'm sure Lew Rothman invented it. :sign:
