Box-pressed woes

Nope I prefer my cigars round, I will actually buy cabs of 50 to try and avoided the square cigars in dress boxes.

Especially the churchill/double corona sizes. I've found that larger format dress box cigars have more draw issues than their 50 cab presentation counterparts.

Though I do like when smoking a box press cigar, that I can set it down without it rolling all over the place.

Maybe I'm just being dumb, but what are "cabs"?

50 count boxes with a slide top lid.

Some cigars also come in a 25 count SLB.

Interesting - how are they better than dress boxes for box-press-i-ness?

They're not....they stay round.

Think of a round bundle of cigars tied together by a ribbon, then placed within a cedar cab. Thus, no box press.
