I do enjoy box pressed cigars. But I chose round because my favorite size is robusto.

I prefer cigars that have their pressing caused by being forced into an irregular edge tessellation in the box.

No tessellation for me. I prefer round from SLBs and Cabs. Ahbroody likes his in odd form, culebras.
I do like cheese!
:-) tesselated on my hoagie

I chose round mainly because the tastiest sticks I've had have been traditional round smokes. That could change with a tasty stick though...

I don't like box pressed just because I don't like how they feel in the hand or mouth.

I've always enjoyed a box press better. That or a small rg, somewhere under 50. I won't turn my nose up at other stuff though. It's far from a rule.

Prefer round but I wouldn't pass up a nicely trimmed box.

All other things being equal, I prefer round cigars. For some reason I don't like the mouth feel of box pressed cigars.

I voted other. I like the 'normal' round stick. But, When I get some box pressed.. I am a sucker. I seem to really enjoy them and brag about them for a few days after having one.

I like round or box-pressed, but prefer the bp style. I especially like bp'ed cigars when I am fishing from shore, I can set the cigar down on a rock, picnic table, etc. and the wind won't roll it off.
I also like the tactile sensation of a bp'ed cigar in the hand and in the mouth.
I have gone so far as to box press some cigars on my own, an interesting proposition. What is fun, is gifting one to someone. They'll ask, "Where did you get this, I didn't know this cigar came in a box-press format?"
Peace of the Lord be with you.

That would be cool. Kinda a little signature on it, of your own without really ruining the smoke. Great idea.

I have a box of Ashton VSG Sorcerer's (churchill) that are box-pressed and have smoked about a half-dozen: none of them have burned badly.
