Box-pressed woes

[Big Bert]

Oooooooh triangle smokes ... Someone needs to do that ASAP peter that's an awesome idea it would be a nice rare and odd shape...

Keith, I actually enjoy a nice box press. I had nothing but good experiences with them but like Peter says if the quality is good I could care less about the shape

Triangle presses have been done several times in the past. Dont recall the names, but I know there was also a triangle tubo!

Thought it was Helix, but I can't remember for sure.

Based on my preference for cabs, I prefer a round cigar over a box press too, but won't turn down a cigar soley for that reason (obviously, most cigars don't come in cabs or SLBs).

The first person to do this was Alan Ruben (Alec Bradley cigars) about 10 years ago with the Trilogy line. Gimicky as heck and sometimes they had horrible burn problems. Ultimately he stopped doing it because it was very difficult to press them without damaging the wrapper leaf.

The Trilogy line was eventually re-released without the tri-press, and no one has done the tri-press since that I'm aware of.

Have you tried an LGC Obelisco? These things are delicious and burn perfectly!
