I have been reading many topics on pressing tobacco plugs and most of it state that pressing tobacco not only concentrate flavor and force them to marry the flavor faster, but it also concentrate the nicotine. I found some thread at smokingpipes.com that they tried to make cake from commercial loose tobacco and find that pressing the tobacco concentrate the nicotine of the blend.
My homegrown tobacco has become really nice smoke both in cigarette tube and pipe after 2 weeks in jar. However, the nicotine content is quite on the low side. In cigarette, it is fine because I used to smoke light cigg. However, in pipe, I am expecting a bit more in the nic department. Will pressing these tobacco help in concentrating the nicotine? Anyone tried the same tobacco loose and pressed notice any different? I am asking because I almost out of the current blend and thinking will it worth it to spend money on pressing rig.
