semery74 Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Why is this the only production cigar that is offered in a cabinet and a dress box of 25? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChicagoWhiteSox Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 I went with SLB. If your aging, slb is > than dress box. Just my 2 cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tampa1257 Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Just my personal opinion, but I prefer a SLB over a DB any time there is an option. Long term storage and air circulation in a SLB promotes better aging in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeromeroselli Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 It depends on what you want I think, but most of the time I would assume most would choose an SLB over a dress box. Myself I'd choose a SLB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laficion Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Cabinets, for me, are just great. love them all. Also for aging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jquest63 Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Dress box art can be awesom, but dislike the coffin nail closure. Cabinets are better for aging and the clasps are easier to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perfectform Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 I actually prefer SBN to the above in terms of aesthetics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b0rderman Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 SLB I really like round smokes, for no particular reason...but then again I don't know to what extent the BBF get pressed in a dress box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginseng Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 SLB all the way. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal the way. Wilkey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy2 Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Does not make a differance unless you age than the SLB is better.But the blends are the same DB are better if you have less storage space also I like the art work..I have smoked both and there is no differance in taste.

Evo03 Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Never tried a BBF from a dress box. But generally I prefer cigars in a SLB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cigarros Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 If your aging, slb is > than dress box. Agree compleatly! Only SLB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rob Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 In regards to aging - I'm finding it hard to believe that there is a difference, beyond speculative, between a dress box and SLB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anacostiakat Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 In regards to aging - I'm finding it hard to believe that there is a difference, beyond speculative, between a dress box and SLB. Well that might be. Hell I dont know. What I do know is that with the SLB's there is no box pressing which I prefer. Also I belive (right or wrong) that the circulation is better. To me the opening of one against the other is noticible in aroma. Does smell make a difference in ageing. I think it shows indications. Speculative I would agree.

sounddust Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 SLBs please. IMHO they smell and look better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginseng Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 If speculative means not backed by experimental data, well, that'd be pretty much the entire endeavor of cigars. I agree with ACcat's observation on the smell of dressed v. SLB. For me, the critical difference is not in the tightness of the seal. Any appreciable difference is likely to be marginal at best. I think the real concern with paper-based packaging (which includes cardboard packs too) is 1) the paper itself and 2) the adhesive used to bond it to the wooden carcass. Soak off the paper from a dressed box and what do you have? Basically a SBN such as PSD4 and the like are packaged in. So if it's not the carcass that makes the difference, it's gotta be what's stuck to it, the only other point of difference: the paper/glue and, to a lesser degree, the printing ink.

jaylax5 Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 I only have SLB BBF's so I am no authority and therefore didn't vote. I can tell you that SLB's are a nice presentation and experience. The aroma is strong and the sticks stay round, rather then box pressed from the DB. Alan (aavkk) may be able to chime in as he has smoked BBF's from a DB.

ucla695 Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 I prefer SLBs. There's something about the simplicity that appeals to me, not to mention the possibilities for long term aging. I wish more cigars came in them. One thing I like about DBs is there are more shapes/sizes to play cigar tetris with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinny Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 definitely SLB! And I wish they would make some 100' pieces again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colt45 Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 I can't say which is "better", but generally I prefer SLBs - mainly because as others have mentioned, I prefer my cigars sans box press. I also like that the cigars are in such close proximity to each other in a round. I do like the shape of the dress box for storage purposes as well.
