I have to say just the opposite... I feel a good box pressed cigar speaks to the construction of the tobacco rolled within... If it can be pressed square and maintains a good draw with a good volume of smoke, then the cigar was rolled with superiority...
I do notice, however, that some box presses do not draw well, and do not have the smoke output i desire... I equate this to being from poor rolling or from a poor manufacturer...
I have to agree with the rest... if Box pressed isn't your preference, so be it... but don't turn away from box pressed cigars just because of their shape... some, like the wonderfully delicious and indulgent 601 blue, only come in box press and are nearly unanimously considered a fantastic cigar...
I'll offer one other solution... you can always send your box presses to me...
