You'll probably get closer to a flake like that. I say make an ice cube sized brick very tightly packed

I like the DIY bunching machine (Lieberman machine). they make a bunch of cigarettes in the Philippines with those and little girls at the handle.

Sorry I've been gone so long folks, personal life exploded there for a while. Things are getting back to a semblance of normalcy now. no room to grow tobacco anymore though, looks like i will be making an order on whole leaf soon for some cigar baccy.....

Thanks John. Good to be back.I missed you guys (If that doesn't say something about the sense of community here, I don't know what does!)

yep, it's been said. but thanks! the 2x4 i built that press from was super dry and sap free, the cigars only spent a little bit in there, so I wasn't worried. That press was more of a "proof of concept" thing for me. I'm considering making a few from non toxic exotic hard woods. I may even polyurethane them to make sure they are sealed. I figure, why not have some sharp looking gadgets laying around. The workshop will be set up in about 6 weeks or so and I will be firing up the lathe...Cigar stump holders anyone???? Pipes, cigarette holders, maybe even some badass ash trays too
If ya have a lathe and smoke a pipe, make some fancy looking pipe tampers. I like the ones that use a spent cartridge with a wooden end to it. A .45 cal pipe tamper is sweet!
You might be cautious about polyurethane or any other cosmetic coating on a cigar press. I regularly press and dry in a low temp oven to hasten the shaping/drying before wrapping. I don't think I'd take the chance that heat would make the poly flavor the cigar. (Just my 2 cents and maybe I should spell it "scents")

Good thought John. I'll keep that in mind.
Pipe tampers will certainly be on the list. And I have plenty of .45 brass laying around here (that's what I shoot in competition)
