In my experience, I seem to get a better and more consistent cigar quality when I buy a box vs a single or a 5 pack. Just wondered if anyone has any thoughts on this?

Haven't really noticed a difference myself.

Cant say I've ever noticed a difference.

Hey Homebrew, what was your latest batch of beer?

no diff

I've sometimes wondered if bundles are aged as long after rolling as the boxed version of the same stick, as they have tasted more fresh on occasion. But overall, no I haven't noticed a quality difference. And as soon as I discovered that there was nothing magical about a box--I saved a LOT of money (or rather, spent a lot of money, lol).

ask tapout, the legend.

(oh no he di'int!)

I think there are reasons that cigars offered in a box may be more consistent than 5 packs, 3 packs, etc.

There is more volume to marry the flavors/aromas in a full box.
Before boxing the cigars are sorted for color consistency, etc and any held out can be put in packs where presentation is not as noticeable.
I have noticed this with Habanos but can't say it has made much difference in the taste.

They are internet cigars...just sayin

98.2% fake!

I kind of noticed this as well... I'm sure its better because there are 20 or 25 as only 5 to a 5 pack

I've gotten more singles with cracked wrappers than boxes!!

nope

Boxes, No flavor/consistency difference. I just like getting more cigars in a package.

i have mixed feelings, depends on who you get them from. C.i. i have never noticed a differance. When i used to do bussiness with *** 9 out 10 times there was a negative differance, some times they were so plugged just tossed them. I thought they sold the returns as 5 Packs, Only my idea ?.
AJ.

Competitor reference....hmm.....Cough cough....

Same problem here though!

Retail box cigars are better than internet box cigars.... right?

Don't all fivers start out in a box?

we would all like to know wouldnt we.

No. At least not Habanos which are packaged at the factory in 5 and 3 packs.
