Home Blending Noodle Press

If I set up the Flying V will you pass me one with soft hands?

Nice looking pucks! How moist is the finished product?

Using noodle press for 9 months. 100g batches. Microwave for 20 seconds. 7 days in press. Parchment paper at end to get plug out. After 6 months my Vaper blend is as good to me as any I’ve bought. Ive also tinned English ribbon blends because I prefer a crumble cake texture.

So heating it just before pressing brings out the flavor more... I'll have to try that in my stove, like a previous poster just recommended.

Any thoughts on steaming instead of stoving?

Just as moist as was when it went in the press. I don’t add anything in the way of toppings.

The pucks in the picture are 2oz each so that’s 1/2 lb of tobacco stacked next to the Czech tool. 2” diameter by 3/4” tall.

what are you pressing into the cake?

that's what you are doing in a microwave.

I mostly do microwave to bring up moisture level so different tobaccos bind better.

I forgot to say that I don't have a microwave

I‘m assuming heat from whatever source will do the trick. As @dquisenberry mentioned it really helps bind the tobaccos together. Here‘s another of mine sliced:

Great looking puck and slices. Thanks for the pressing tips.

I've made some picks as well and they really do a great job of holding in the moisture.
