Do they even make box-pressed CC's?

There are a lot of CCs with a mild box-press, but none I'm aware of with a strong one.

Every dress box CC that I've smoked has a slight box press, and it's just a byproduct of the way they are packaged. Cab CC's do not. Of course, the only exceptions I can think of for dress box cigars not being box pressed are tubos and en cedros (cedar wrapped).

NC box pressed are done intentionally, I think. I'm not sure though.

Box Pressed are easy to sit down almost anywhere!

I have a box of Ashton VSG Sorcerer's (churchill) that are box-pressed and have smoked about a half-dozen: none of them have burned badly.

Like others pointed out, not a true "box press" perhaps, but certainly not truly round in the dress boxes.

The term box pressed describes Cubans in dress boxes, some of these NC "box-pressed" cigars are pressed into squares before putting them in the box.

I, like Tom, prefer cigars out of Cabs and SLBs so I like round. To answer Wayne's question about whether or not marcas make round and box pressed or the same vitola the answer is yes when the vitola is offered in a dress box and a cab of 50. Examples: Party Shorts, RASS, Punch Punch
