I have never purchased box pressed cigars before honestly. Besides the obvious shape, is there any difference in the curing process or flavor of the box pressed versus non BP?

Flavor is so subjective that it's hard say if box pressing makes a difference, but I don't think that is does make a direct difference.

One thing I have found is that box pressed cigars tend to be rolled a little looser -- which may affect the flavors (which is why I said no "direct difference" above).

Cool, I may try them just for kicks with my next order spree

Thanks for the 'fo!

Add me to the fan list for the 262 Ideology - the construction on these is flawless, never had a bad stick - and there's a good bit of flavor for such a mild smoke.

CAO LX2 Bam. Small stick, but box-pressed and tasty.

Sancho Panza Double Maduro. A good, box-pressed maduro smoke and pretty cheap too.

Been trying for two weeks with their website. Everytime I try to register the page goes to a "404 error". I contacted 262, got an e-mail back from Mike Justice which reads:

"Hello, thank you for letting us know about the site. We’ve just recently had our site moved to a newer server and the hosting company wasn’t as thorough in their migration as they should have been, thus we’ve had some issues with the site. Everything has been resolved and all is working now."

Mike was apologetic, thanked me for letting him know but the site does not work [for me]. Maybe I am doing someting wrong but I don't think so. I e-mailed Mike again about a week ago but have not receive any respose.

I REALLY want to try some 262's!
