Anyone else find them to be a bit awkward?

i agree but i tend to like them a bit more than non-box pressed just bc they seem to have a looser draw which i like

I found them to be more hit and miss myself, but there are some good ones.

YMMV

got to be box pressed when fishing, lay on the poling or casting platforms w/o rolling overboard

makes sense critter, Z whats YMMV?

Your mileage may vary

MMMMMM box pressed la aroa de cuba magnifico!!

As a general rule, I'm not a huge fan of box pressed, however, as long as that is the only way 601 blues come, I'm going to keep smoking them. 🇨🇮

yes

They never roll off the deck rail when it's windy.
