Very cool stuff, thanks for sharing. Always interesting to see how folks are doing home pressing or bacco blending. Some good ideas here! Happy smokes and take care.
Q: why are we pressing it? ive got some Åhus tobacco growing besides my bed,and im wondering ifg i should press it,too?! well,should i? im always looking for new ways of getting my itch scratched.
this tobacco is already fermenting?how i remoist the dry leaves after curing to not become dust ? just pressing them for period of time its enough for a complete fermentetion after curing?
I read one guy comment on a different video that he did all of his fermentation by simply pressing. The pressing would release juice which would start fermentation by pressure. I’m trying to figure out if I can do the same and skip the kiln type of fermentation.
Great job you have done pressing your tobacco. Just a wee suggestion, would it not be easier for you to mount your camera on a tripod and leave your two hands free to operate the press and pressed tobacco?
Wow awesome slab, I try not to exert as much pressure when I press, I’d be concerned that I’d lose the essential juices in the baccy but I have to say yours looks amazing. Do let us know how it tastes when you try it. Cheers
London Calling with Simon Thank you Simon, its trial & error at times but think 1 week for a crumble cake is perfect. It does expand over time again. Enjoy your day my friend. Ross
Nice video, thanks for that. That jack, is it modified somehow? Doesn’t look like the ones I have seen. I am on the hunt for one and yours might be what I am looking for. 👍🏻
Thanks Richard, it’s just a car part Jack used for bending metal. Harbour freight have them. I made the wooden template myself & it comes with the 2 slabs of metal used for compression.
Interesting! The baccy looks really tasty. From your comments I guess you used cut tobacco and not whole leaf baccy. Have you tried doing it with whole leaves? Do you know if there´s something extra to think of when using whole leaves (I´d like to give that a try)?
Its a 4 year old video done on a phone in his shed, you're lucky it isn't 6 pixels and a fuzzy line 😂 The pipe and tobacco community isn't known for being the best presented or technical, all the money goes on pipes and tobacco.
That looks wonderful. May your pipe be full, your matches dry, and your cigars be sweet.
You are one patient man

Hi John, I have a tripod now. Back then it was all point & shoot. Cheers, Ross
I bet it smells wonderful Ross!
how long did you press it for?
@@patrykbielicki2963 a week
Why do you do this?

It looks good enough to eat mate
How long did you press for?
Looks amazing. Thanks for sharing.
Can i follow you on Facebook? I’m interested in your process! Couldn’t find you under your TH-cam name. Thanks
Beautiful

I'm about to open mine up after a month. It's a va/pr from whole leaf. It seams that as long as you slice it, should break apart nicely
That’s brilliant 👍🏻
Hope the ears heal soon, great shop you have. Cool uncut plug or enormous flake?
Birdseyebriar Hey buddy, many thanks! Haha, I need an enormous pipe to smoke it in now!
Why so thin? Is there actually a reason or just preference I'm starting to make plug tobacco so trying to learn some tricks of the trade
Thanks for sharing. I love these kind of VRs!
Do you boys not use a camera trypod to mount your phone on to film these videos? I t would be easier and more professional having the use of two hands
