I'm new to this forum, so please forgive my rather ignorant questions.
After pressing your tobacco blend(s) into a solid "brick"....what do you then do to this brick of tobacco to get it back into a smokable form? Do you slice it....dice it....rub it, chop it....with a knife, axe, cleaver, food processor?
How? What results are you looking for? Do you want ribbons, flakes, cubes....granules? Will the pressed tobacco be too wet to smoke without a bit of drying it, first? Is it easy to smoke....will it stay lit?
Why is pressing done? Do individual tobacco flavors all blend together into something better?
Interesting subject, and process. Thanks for the thread. I learned something new.
