All:

My favorite line is by far Padron.

That being said, has anyone noticed lately that they are not as "box-pressed" as they once were. Maybe I'm loopy here, but aren't ALL Padron's box pressed. Lately it seems the 3, 4, and 5000's I'm getting from C-Bid are about as round as any other smoke.

From what I've seen (mostly local shops) - the 2-5000 line hasn't ever been as box pressed as the anniversario - for the last year I've seen 2-5,000's with only a very slight box press, but I've seen variations in the amount of press from shop to shop - expecially the shop that overhumidifies their sticks - those things puff up nice and round (those are the ones I avoid)
