My friend Tim from Papa Bear's asked if pressing Beaumont's Supreme was an option. Yes, yes it is and here are the results. In blends that are latakia forward, pressing gives it an amazing tin note and truly adds to the flavor. If anyone is pressing at home, my recommendation for getting the best results with this press is 3 day press, minimum. Every morning and evening for those days tighten the press. This will get you amazing results, the puck will be firm, but not impenetrable. The flavors meld extremely well. Also, visit www.pbhbp.com. Tim makes amazing pipes that are truly artisan beauty. Fantastic performance. Showed a few off in the video.

Today several blends are pulled from the presses and we see the results. Have tried several presses but this particular press works best for me. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B019P8B1PU?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details I will caution you if you use this press to give it thorough once over and remove any sharp edges using 600+ grit sandpaper or 0000 steel wool. After that they're prefect and do a fantastic job. You will have to tighten them down multiple times, preferably twice per day(morning/evening) to get the best results. Also in today's video a YABO from EMC Custom Cobs. Absolutely fantastic pipes and I highly recommend them. Lastly, got tired of my lighter and tamper clanging around in my pocket so a little leather and stitches later, problem solved. As always any questions or comments are welcome.

Showing off a restored 1882 tobacco cutter and some new pressed blends. My friend Eric @emc_custom_blends (Instagram) found this while visiting Amish country in Ohio. Needed a restore and a new blade made for it. As a subscriber to older is better, this was a fun restoration.

My friend Thomas asked me to create an Oriental forward blend.
