I tried to teach those stubborn widdle icebergs how to swim, but all they do is dog paddle to oblivion.
The bergs don't dog paddle, they are hardcore. The bergs bathe in their own fluids.

It's rituals like this that allow for brilliant reviews en masse from a super taster.

Some say Robert Johnson sold his soul at the crossroads. JimInks drinks ice water and bergs and is a master of his craft.

Pressed Virginia/Burley in a Charatan 610.

Did you press the mixture yourself (like in a noodle press)?

I'm interested in doing the same to make cakes and "plugs". The noodle press has arrived, now I need the time.

No noodle press needed as I have an old bench vice.. All I did was press the tobacco as hard as I could into the corner of the pouch it came in. Then place it in between two thin pieces of hard wood and place the lot in the vice. I turned the handle tighter and tighter over several days then left it for several days more.

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, grouper and sugar snap peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. I've about a third of a bowl left of year 2013 Full Virginia Flake in a straight 1968 Dunhill Shell bulldog with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Fed three ferals who I know are cold outside, and m'lady and I are watching a Tim Holt western.
