Just opened a box of SLR Serie A and they're probably the most heavily box pressed cubans I've ever seen! Ill try to add a pic but its kind of amusing, they really jammed them in there!

I like my cigars round (from cabs wherever possible) but the 50ct cab of SLRs was sadly flogged off and retired. My question is:

If I take these square pegs out of the dress box and into a cab, will the box press diminish over time?

Keen to hear some thoughts, maybe I'm nuts!

diminish, yes. From what I have seen, they will never be as round as cigars that have never been pressed. Then again, maybe if you wait a decade or more....

puns aside........

Most of my pre-02 dress boxes have them ridiculously box pressed. Guess it just comes with time. Especially if they're the maschine made, cello-wrapped cigars... The corner boxed cigars are always rectangular and AMAZING. So that's always nice :)

Are you sure they are square and not diamond shaped?

Good point. Any cigar can be square pressed, but only the most awesome cigars can be diamond pressed. It's like a 45 degree difference.

The real challenge is getting the band centred properly. Only the best uh... bandileros are employed.
