Any recommendations for full flavored 'box pressed".
SLO Maduro not doing it much anymore.
Wasn't impressed with 501 blue either.
TIA

Ortega Series D Maduro full flavor medium full strength. The old 601 Blue made by EO was good but the new one made by La Zona is not the same smoke and IMHO not as good.0

I think Rocky Patel old world maduro is boxed pressed, at least somewhat? Vintage 1990 as well. Both good maduros.0

i know a lot of people knock them here, but i like the ALec Bradley Prensado also0 -
Oliva masterblends 3 is sort of a soft box press. Great smoke with lots of flavor. Ever had a padron 1964?0

Padron 19260

Other than the Padrons, I'd probably suggest Nica Libre, Oliva G Maduro, and 5 Vegas Cask Strength.
EDIT: I can't believe I forgot these. San Lotano maduro and San Lotano Oval.0 -
San Lotano or the Tatuaje Cojonu.0
-
5-Vegas Cask, after a couple of years they are very tastey.0

CAO Big Block or Piston

La Herencia Cubana Core!0

I got some ALec Bradley Prensado from Bigshizza and was impressed.
5 Vegas Cask Strength is another good one.
And I 2nd slamb above, La Herencia Cubana Core.0 -
Is that a maduro? I thought just dark sun grown? Or maduro by color but not by process?slamb@cigar.com:La Herencia Cubana Core!0 -
Another vote for Ortega D maduro No 7. I don't smoke maduro, not a fan. When I do, I grab an Ortega D. They age very well.0
-
The Oliva Serie V Melianio Maduro is another good one to try.0
-
LFD Chapter 1 or the Factory Press line0

3rd on the 5 Vegas Cask Strength... real nice, it may even be one of the top 5V blends....0

---------------- Ok I thought something was up. This makes sense. The 601 Blue was the closest thing to my all time favorite the REO brand. The last one I had did not taste the same. I guess that explains it.ckrddsmke:Ortega Series D Maduro full flavor medium full strength.
