My experience is that RASS cabinet rounds smoke consistently better than the pressed dress box versions. Anybody else have the same experience?

Been buying both for 20 years and I have not seen much differece to be honest. Now the Partagas Lonsdales were far more superior in cabs vs dress box. Just my palate and opinion!

Never noticed a difference in consistency.  Cab is more likely to have a few odd ones due the ribbon compressing the cigar.

Both formats taste very similar to me from a smoking perspective but damn the 50 cab looks so much better to the eye. 😍🔥💜

Maybe I’m splitting hairs. I just find that I use a draw poker more on box pressed RASS vs cabinet RASS. I also find the sheen is brighter, generally, on cabinet wrappers. But it makes no difference on flavor.

Not with an $800 price tag.

I don't think that these days there is any difference. Both excellent in general. 

I have thought about this from time to time. I noticed back in the day the boxes used to be made with one piece of solid cedar wood, so I can sort of imagine how unvarnished vs varnished vs dress boxes may possibly differ in how they transfer/hold humidity. Nowadays they all are made with cedar ply, so each box has a multiple layers of glue acting as a sort of seal, resulting in very little difference between each packaging type other than how the actual cigars are bundled together or stacked.

I smoke both, I prefer cabs. But is more aesthetics related and not getting around the box pressed cigars fully than anything else.

I may be the odd one here, but I go for dress boxes.  Takes up less space and like the cedar strip between layers.  Not saying I don't buy cabs...
