[QUOTE="Zeno Marx, post: 565626, member: 1211"] I've thought about this pressing deal and in terms of 30 days or more. I believe some of the retail cakes are often 30-60 days, but I could be way off. I would imagine you'd need a lot of days to substantially affect the tobacco. The metal press the Briar Blues fella uses could fit inside a 5-gallon bucket with lid, where you could mostly control the environment humidity and not have to worry about how long. I can't tell how large yours is. When they squash and ferment perique, it's in a cellar-like basement where they can control humidity levels. It's not a quick process. If I was going to mess with this, which I'm not and am thus talking out my ass, I would design it for long durations under pressure. Size of contraption. Materials lending to longterm use. Patience is a virtue with caking, no? [/QUOTE]
