Personally, I'm waiting for the "octo-press" Mark Twains.

[sarcasm]

Whats wrong with round?

Still a good price though.

Dude, round is so last week.

Don't you plebes know anything?

In two dimensional Euclidean space, Joseph Louis Lagrange proved in 1773 that the lattice arrangement of circles with the highest density is the hexagonal packing arrangement, in which the centres of the circles are arranged in a hexagonal lattice (staggered rows, like a honeycomb), and each circle is surrounded by 6 other circles. The density of this arrangement is

100 * [pi / (2* sqrt(3))] ~ 90.69 %

Axel Thue provided the first proof that this was optimal in 1890, showing that the hexagonal lattice is the densest of all possible circle packings, both regular and irregular. However, his proof was considered by some to be incomplete. The first rigorous proof is attributed to László Fejes Tóth in 1940.

I'd give up the Cask Strength and 1 of each of the others, and ya'll know my tastes aren't much above convenience store smokes yet (but some fine BOTLs are working on that with bombs to my checkbook's chagrin).

Only Cask Strength I've smoked (Round btw) was a bitter, stem-y mess.

Been done. Alec-Bradley Trilogy, circa 2004-ish.

That, I have not seen. But I'm sure CI's brony marketing department is working furiously on it.

While this may be true when regarding multiple circles, the density of a SINGLE circlie is 100%.

So....Round > Hex

I had to look that up to see if your were kidding. wow, just wow... 🤦

It might be a total gimmick, or it might be awesome! Nobody will know unless it's attempted! Innovation is vital to any industry. This means there will be more strikeouts than home runs, but isn't it worth it?

As for the "hex-press," I have my doubts that it will be a game-changer, but then again I thought the Oval would be a gimmick too, and now I think it's genius. You guys can argue the math of this until you're all speaking German, but the fact is that you won't know how it effects the experience of the tobacco in question until you try it!

I will say that if there are folks at CI who think the "hex-press" is the next big thing, they should have started it out on something other than the 5 Vegas line. Do with with something hotter, like the MoW or Diesel lines instead. Introducing it on the cheap-o line makes this smell like snake oil.

That's what I thought when I saw it as well. Lipstick on a pig...

Bingo!

To be taken seriously, this should have been tried on a new blend, by a reputable blender. Hex pressing a line of yard gars, give you, well, hex pressed yard gars. But, as I said before, I bet the CI loyal masses are eating this one up.

I think I still have one of those... 🤔 🤔

The Octo-Mom can be the spokesperson. With a cameo by Bill Clinton. She can wear a blue dress and we'll all wonder where o' Slick Willie stores them.

ewwww, that's wrong on so many levels. I just vomited in my mouth. Gross. Lol
