[QUOTE="Swede, post: 574953, member: 5139"] I got interested in making my own pressed tobacco plug, and read and watched videos mostly requiring a purchase of a noodle maker, or building a wooden box, etc. Wanting to test it first and I try to be thrifty, I decided to use a cleaned out beets tin can thinking the lining is food grade and the removed top could act as part of the press. So, I cut up some on hand blending Perique and Virginia, bought two 2 1/2 inch steel washers, added another washer type piece, then used a big C clamp to compress over 3 days. The last two hours this rig stayed in a box on my deck in the sun. I took it all apart, then used my Victorinox Swiss army knife can opener to remove the bottom of the can. I got a nice thin plug that is 1 ounce of tobacco at 25 % Perique. It crumbled well and smoked good. Needs some aging, but smokable and this was fun. The plug smells right good. Pardon the multiple pictures. Swede [/QUOTE]
