Hey thank you for sharing I noticed on thing that you might want to take a note of yourself. Great idea with the hockey pock, but instead of having on slot cut out on the top why not have two pucks with slots cut? Put one facing the other way and you don't have to worry about any wobble no matter what side it kicks out too. I have been thinking of doing pressing and at this stage I am taking everyone's ideas and pondering what I want done. So thank you for sharing again, and I hope my idea helps, as yours sure as hell helped me!
Hooo-IE, lol... I'm not looking up pressing in regard to Latakia, mostly others probably but... I just tried a bit of latakia just now. Just the amount considered "a condiment" in Lane HGL... I'd hate to smell what a "latakia bomb" is like, lol! I'll need to start out using the whole blend as a condiment to get used to latakia. I like the idea of some smokey stuff, like in cold weather, but without extra nicotine as dark fired stuff is described. I've never tried dark fired Virginia since I'm a lower nicotine guy, but I wondered if it was smokey like this. It sure has character, lol. Re: pressing things... how serendipitous my garage gets about 102F a lot in the summer. Seems close enough to try without added heat...? Thanks much! I blended aromatics and left them a long time and they just so happened to become amazing, probably breaking all kinds of rules. Thought I might try pressing some. I always go back to the sweet ones of which non-smokers like the room note, but maybe I'll evolve away from it. What a nice Variac!! Looks like something for ham radio or Lichtenburg art, hehe. 73, W4VEY (who needs to renew and upgrade).
So I have no idea if this is true but I have heard its not the best to press in a PVC tube due to some of the properties of the PVC that can leach into the tobacco. Have you heard about this?
Thanks for the video brother! Whar size PVC did you get? Also where did you get your metal plates? Ive made one of these before but never used the plates. Thats a good idea. You use practice pucks correct? Also wondering if you can cut these into slices, or if they just fall apart? Cheers! ✌️🔥💨
3 inch PVC. I ordered flat bar stock from Amazon and cut them out. Yes, practice pucks. The tobacco came out like a crumble cake. Thank you for watching.
@The_Southland_Piper oh ok. Are all half-inch PVCs the right diameter for the pucks? My only issue is that I don't have a way to cut metal like that, haha. I'd have to use plastic lids or something cut to diameter. idk. Cuz when I made mine, I had the issue you solved with the metal disks. My pucks would slip sideways a bit and get off alignment, not pressing even. Would have been better if I had someone who could weld the ball joint on the end of the C-Clamp from moving, maybe.
Great set up...great results. Thanks for displaying your process. Take care of yourself.
Thank You. I need to do more pressing. I’ve got about three bowls left from that pressing. Thank you for watching.
nice demo sir ty

Thank You. I appreciate you watching
I've been considering building a press from 4" square stainless stock and a couple of 1/4" end plates. Thanks for the video!
Good luck. Pressing tobacco can be very interesting. Thank You for watching and commenting
This is by far the best method and set-up I’ve seen 👍
Thank You. I appreciate you watching.
Brilliant idea. I love it. Thanks
Thank You. It works very well. Thank you for watching.
I love a how-to video that includes the caveat “don’t do this at home”😂
Got to cover all the bases. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Very cleaver way to make your own pressing equipment Tim.
It works fairly well. Thank You for watching.
Really enjoyed this video.🤠

I’ve got a couple of extra hockey pucks, so I’ll give that a try. Thanks and thank you for watching.
good video, I've been using the $15 Noodle press with excellent results. Its quick and easy to use, I dont use the wax paper. thank you for sharing
A lot of people use a pasta press with great success. Thank You for watching and the comment
I did this to Im a tig welder so I tacked it all together better so I could get a nice hard squeeze on it
Interesting video there. I'm planning to press few blends myself. Have a pleasant week ahead, Janez
Thank You. Planning to do some more this week. Thank you for watching the video.
Love this video man, thank you! Do you taste a difference with pressed tobacco or is it just for portability?
Oh it definitely changes the taste. The favorites are more deep, smooth and sweeter. Thanks for watching.
@@The_Southland_Piper I watched the whole video and understood you weren’t no amateur tobacconist. Best video in regards to pressing tobacco

I would be concerned if I were leaving it in for weeks or months.

Sorry but I told you the wrong size PVC. It is 3 inch. The same size as the hockey puck.
Instant subscribe!
I appreciate the sub. I’m currently working on a tobacco stoving video that has a twist.
New sub here! Wow, that pressing looks good enough to eat!
Thank You for watching and the sub.
Never shall I buy a plug again! Thank you! 🙂👍
Simple and easy press to make. Thank You for watching
Interesting to watch how others do their pressing. Happy smokes.
Thank You. I enjoy those videos as well.
A few pucks in a jar for a year or two , imagine the possibilities
@@SonoraSlinger
Yep 💯
Man, that stuff looks good enough to eat.......................ha
Thank You. I know what you mean. I need to do another pressing. Thank you for watching.
