SLB Versus normal box

[GodofFire]

I have been reading some information about cigars that come in an SLB instead of a normal box that most cigars come in

Some have indicated that they prefer the cigars that come in the SLB over the other box style.

Is there really a difference in the flavor profile with cigars that come in a SLB... our is this one of those wives tales one hears about from time to time. .

Mike,

I think most here will agree that cigars will age better in a wooden box as opposed to a dress box. I can't tell a difference in taste with young cigars in either, and I haven't been aging any stock long enough yet to have an opinion on the aging question.

How are those cigars I sent you smoking?

There is absolutely no difference in the flavor profile; but cigars in SLB age more gracefully. Dress box, tubes, SLB 25 or SLB 50, the blend is the same.

It just feels better sliding open the lid of a wood box vs opening up a dress box. Not sure how big of a difference it makes but it just seems like a better way to store cigars for the long term.

Besides cigars in SLB aging well, most cigars in SLB are not box pressed.

I prefer round cigars over boxed pressed cigars whenever I have choice..

+1 on round stogies. And better aging in cedar boxes, cigar on cigar.
