[QUOTE="RSteve, post: 569457, member: 164"] [SIZE=5]I am somewhat befuddled, to put it mildly. This is Day #6 of turning the crank on the noodle presses and I still have room to give them a bit of a turn, after the prior day, when I'd cranked to the max. One of the presses allowed for a full quarter turn. I am going to remove the roll cakes from the presses on Saturday; wrap each tightly in food grade plastic wrap; label and tape them, then put them in a ziplock for storage and aging. I really don't think there's any benefit in keeping the tobacco roll cakes under pressure once they appear to have reached their maximum compaction. They just need to take a well deserved rest after being squeezed so tightly. As I noted earlier in one or another thread, I'm wondering if there's a point where the blend is compressed too tightly for a piece to be rubbed out and smoked.[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
