It's always sitting in front of me on the coffee table at the B&M, she looks nice. Not high maintenance at all.

Do I gain access at some point to come up with my own slogan or did I miss it?
It's moot at this point as I haven't thought of anything witty enough but I may get inspired :>) |

I know what "box pressed" is, but what's the point of it?

According to Cigar Adviser - Originating in Cuba, this was done to save shipping space. As a result, the process causes the cigars to burn longer and with a more consistent flavor, giving the smoker a more enjoyable smoke.
and Cuban Crafters say - What is box-pressed? A cigar, while fresh and moist, is actually pressed in a wood box and the pressure creates a perfectly square shaped cigar. The box-pressed cigars usually burn long and give a more flavorful taste. |

I find most box pressed I've had run up one side.

I think cab or box press does have as much to do with taste as much as burn. The construction of a box press seems (to me) to me to have tighter packed "corners " and looser packed sides which always tend to burn uneven for me.

I have a question that has puzzled me that I couldn't find an answer to... Smoking speed vs flavor vs size vs cigar .
I have noticed that I get a different flavor from cigars with different draws i.e. a light slow longer draw seems to always reveal a sweeter smoke and a more cedar draw on cigars like pepin black labels; however , a shorter draw in time (drawing the same amount of smoke) tends to be less sweet and more spicy than cedar. This technique also brings different flavors in other cigars as well. Is there any specific way that one needs to smoke specific types of cigars to obtain optimal flavor? For example should you smoke a robusto faster (in ratio of drawing not time) than a corna or lancero and would style matter such as you should smoke maduros faster than claros? |

And are any particular brands meant to be smoked faster (in draw ratio not time) than others?

You're over analyzing it. Optimal flavor to one person might not be the same for the next person. Just smoke it how you are comfortable;how it gives you the flavors that you find enjoyable and it doesn't burn all wonky. Eventually you'll figure out your own pattern and timing that yields the most enjoyment for you. |

I accept that, however, I ask because there are a million and one different things that can be done to enjoy a cigar. I understand at the end of the day people will smoke how they like but I would like to know as many of these little techniques as possible so I can try news things and iideas out and possibly enjoy my smoking experience more.
