Flakes for my pipe
Adds 450 grams of Virginia Broadleaf from 2017 in my press. I’ll let it be there for two weeks.
Flakes for pipes
Last year I made 700 grams of homegrown pipe tobacco in the form of flakes. I put the leafs in a form of MDF and put it in pressure for a week. Now it will mature for half a year.

New tobacco leafs
Now when I have more imported leafs from USA it´s more fun to make cigars again.
The most recent purchase was Nicaragua Habano Seco and Corojo Ligero.
So I have now a better mix to select from.
