The Philly Plug

[gorillafly]

Eh, Yo. I pressed some tobacco using a fruit press. It came out nice, but maybe a little too much Latakia. I'll adjust it as I go. Here are the pictures.

What it looks like fresh out of the press
A nice look
Lastly, a close up
Ok, I pasted the URL to the "IMG" tab, but the images are not posting. They are just links... I need to figure out what I am doing wrong.
Anyway, Pipe up gents!

@Cortez

Thank you so much

What am I doing wrong?

Your tobacco is too moist; you're packing it too tightly; you're lighting-up too aggressively; and you're puffing like a freight train.
I missed one: fresh out of the press.

Try right-clicking on your image.

Select "open in new tab"

Copy the URL from the new tab

Paste into the IMAGE button dialog box in the post editor. (Watch out for duplicate "http" 's)

That looks awesome. There are others doing something very similar with a noodle press purchased on Amazon for 20 bones. I’ll share the thread with y’all here: Home Tobacco Press. These lil, inexpensive gadgets do an amazing job at making a plug, I’m smoking one now that a member made from Elizabethan Match and I had to slice flakes off the plug as I just couldn’t get it to crumble.

That’s what I’m talkin’ ‘bout! Ya can’t beat that price either!

Although, your plug looks pretty damn awesome man. Are you using full leaf or are you layering it with ribbon? The noodle press is great cause you can do smaller batches. My first plug is going to be GH Dark Birds Eye and I might add a hint of rose water. I just haven’t had time lately to fiddle with one but I’m gonna change that soon. I’ve got some Amazon points that need some using.

I will love to make a smaller plug.
The tobacco I used was from wholeaf:

They even have some organic tobacco that I used. I freakin' love it. I plan on rolling some stogies too.
