Description

The Box Pressed was introduced in 2017 as a collaboration between Aaron Saide and Jochy Blanco.

Blended for smokers who crave an “intense combination” of spice and sweetness, maintaining structure even with its bold profile.  The medium to bold profile is accented by the blend’s notably dark Brazilian Cubra wrapper, a rarity even in the modern day cigar tobacco world.  The cigar is known for it’s notes of black pepper, dark chocolate, leather, roasted nuts (pistachio/peanuts), and espresso.
