So I had a Padron 1924 the other day that besides being a nice smoke was box pressed, and I really enjoyed the mouth feel of the stick. So does anyone have and rec's as to some other BP smokes that I should pick up and give a go? I know that the Torano 59 BP got high praise this year in Cigar Aficionado, anybody here have any thoughts?

Wow that 262 does look really good, Stogie guys gave it 4 and a half stogies, gonna have to go find some of these.

La Flor Dominicana makes some tasty box-pressed smokes.

FAKE!

:-):-):-)

BTW - The Torano Exodus 1959 Gold that you mentioned, nice cigar. I've always described that cigar as "like smoking a dark chocolate candy bar"

HdM Prensado Oscuro and the Anejo Shark are my 2 favorites. Both look dark, have a bit of sweetness, tons of flavor, and age well.

I agree with the Anejo Shark I was going to mention it but ummm I :-) "forgot"

Great cigar.

Torano Black 59, Murcialago, El Triunfador, La Riqueza, Oliva Series G, RP 90 and 92, CAO Brazila and/or Italia Box Press, Punch Rare Corojo, Casa Fernandez Arganorsa Leaf, Onyx, Sancho Panza and Padron Family Reserve 45 and 46 are some that I have enjoyed.

The Illusione Epernay Le Matin is another good box pressed cigar, and I'd recommend the 262 Paradigm Box Pressed Toro as well

Ok I gotta ask

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?
[Reply]

I'm having a hard time finding these. The 262 website is having problems too. Any suggestions? I
