I'd like to interject for a second here and point out that from a technical standpoint that a lot of the cigars being talked about in this thread, while billed as box press by the nc catalogs and even their manufacturers, are not actually box pressed. They are factory pressed. Box pressed is what Tom and Peter alluded to; it's a cigar that is rolled round and placed into box that is slightly smaller than the combined height and width of all the cigars, causing the cigars to deform to a slight rectangular or square shape in the box. Mushing a cigar square or rectangular in a mold, such as Padron cigars, is technically a factory press. Not a big deal, but just wanted to toss that out there.
