If you haven't guessed, I prefer box pressed cigars.

Yep, even the Padron's burn funky with me.

I guess the terminology can be a bit loose. When I think of box press, I think of LFD's series or the Onyx series where box press is in the actual name. I don't necessary think of a dress box that has cigars which are tightly packed together because of the way they are inserted into the dress box. The Punch Ninfa's come to mind as a great example of this, however I wouldn't consider them box pressed.
