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?

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.

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?

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.

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!
