Whole leaf tobacco

[Plinsc]

The cavendish came out looking good! I’ll let it rest for a week then try some. I need to build a
“Cheese press” next.

Here’s what my small batch 609 Maryland Cavendish looks like

I can make it darker by pressure cooking a little longer, it comes really wet which is amazing with the little amount of fluid that goes in the jar.
( same amount of liquid by weight as the tobacco)

I hope to get into whole leaf one day. Trying that tobacco fresh has to be an experience

I dried the Perique down enough to shred it and jar it up. I added casing to the Red Va but was a tad heavy handed.
I’ll keep doing small batches until I hit the groove
