Very simple way to press some tobacco. Thanks for sharing dear Onion!

@Aaron_Barrett Жыл бұрын

I tries to press tobacco one time. I put tobacco in big gauge pipe (2" or 3", I don't remember), make wooden plug and "piston", insert tobacco, wrapped in cloth between it, place on log, and beat with sledge hammer. I think it is simpliest press human can do. Appreciate your design, it much more neat and compact.

There are many great ways to press tobacco! Lots of videos of home made presses that are quite ingenious! Yours sounds great!

Ordered a press! I’m more into Virginia/english blends but have you tried with aromatics?

Very cool. Search press mold on amazon for lots of similar items and shapes too but yours has some benefits others don’t. I want one! May order one today

Newton Piper the real fun is when you start mixing tobaccos and then pressing them, it melds the flavors quickly so you don’t have to age them as long to get the tobaccos to meld together... man it’s a blast!

Thats such a clever idea. Do you find the flavors are more pronounced with this method?

@2ampipeonthepatio 3 жыл бұрын

Paladin Piper just saw this Pat, yes I find the pressing brings out the flavors and keeps the tobacco moister as it expresses the oils from the leaves into the pressed tobacco. This particular pressing I was doing storage purposes, it compacts the tobacco making it easier to store and helps keep the moisture in the tobacco. Normally when I am pressing different tobaccos together I’ll press from 7 days to a month.... the longer I press the harder the puck becomes after a month it stays like a plug of tobacco where as after 7 days it comes out like a plug but after the air gets to it it becomes a cake of tobacco.

Hey Johnny 👋 are you still pressing with this? Do you notice any difference between the pressed vs loose? Thank you, take care. JB

I’ve noticed the pressed stay moist much longer! Especially if I leave it wrapped in the parchment paper and put it in mason jars

How did you cut that canning jar lid? I bought 2 of these presses and they just arrived, and I want to get to pressing my own blends. Did you use metal snips, or some kind of power tool?

@2ampipeonthepatio 4 жыл бұрын

I just used a pair of old scissors.

@2ampipeonthepatio 4 жыл бұрын

Have fun with it! Make sure to use some parchment paper inside or the tobacco will stick to the tube inside

Well, I got two from Amazon and they are a lot smaller and weaker and crappier than the one you have :( I started to get it decently tight and the bottom cap with the holes started to bulge, and the beginning of the thread popped. Junk. Could you post a link to the one you have?

hi what kind of press is it? is a cookie good?

@2ampipeonthepatio 4 жыл бұрын

I use a noodle press all stainless steel.... a cookie press would probably work if it is metal and can handle the force

What are you trying to achieve by doing this?

@2ampipeonthepatio 3 жыл бұрын

Well in this one I was compressing it for storage purposes! Turning into cakes for storage. Helps to keep it moist longer and you can put more in a jar!

How many ounces can fit

@2ampipeonthepatio 3 жыл бұрын

I can fit about 6 to 8 oz in the press but you have to press it in with your hands as you go to fit it... I use a sodden dowel to help press it down, once I can’t fit anymore in by hand I put the top on and start the press and it will press down about half way it does a great job!
