Whats your middle name plantdude ?

Well, I could tell you what my dad called me growing up, but it's probably not appropriate for this website

Those 49 cell trays should work nicely.

From one thing to another , if I stalkharvest lets say 150 Perique , do I need to hang them upside down or could I stand them upright ?

You hang plants upside down.

How do I take seed A to cell/B in the easiest possible way without dropping it ? A pencil ?

I cut a plastic straw off at a 45 degree angle and use it to scoup up a few seeds. Then a gentle tap will knock them off one at a time.

Is that a straw you use for lets say a milkshake ?

Why do I need to hang them upside down and not the other way around ?
A straw sounds like a pretty good idea aswell.

 

[skychaser]

Yes, a plastic drinking straw like you get with a milkshake. You hang plants upside down because you have the thick base of the stalk to stab through and it will support the weight of the plant. And also the leaves will fall down along in a natural way as they dry instead of sticking out and getting broken off.

Had a peak at Leaf Only to see if I could something interesting .Saint James Perique was 65 $ for a pound and 195 $ for 3 Ibs. which I was thinking of buying.
Shipping and handling was 75.51 makes a grand total of 270.48.
Then you are not sure you will recieve the goods , I mean WLT doesn't ship to Sweden.
Its a bit steep

Purchase some burley, then make your own perique. Three to four months from now, you will have your very own perique, and you will be happy with it.

I have a couple of hundred Perique seeds and I have plenty of Burley aswell but how do you mean Bob make your own Perique from Burley ?

 

[POGreen]

I thought I needed Perique seeds to grow Perique and Burley seeds to grow Burley.

Back i the good ol' days Swedish Match used liquer to spice up their snus.
Wine , Whisky ,sherry , vodka gin and it all ended up with the best snus in the world.
This kept on going up to 1997 and since then the snus has just been crap.
I have used snus for 45 years and I will never forget this

Really Easy Perique Press

This thread can serve for discussing various press arrangements, specs, the Perique process itself, and results any members obtain (from whatever Perique method they try). Although Perique is a named variety of tobacco (which makes a great, mild cigar filler, even without kilning), in this...

I know this for a fact.

Source of confusion:

1. Perique is a named variety of tobacco.
2. Perique processing is a specific process of pressing any variety of tobacco leaf in a wet condition, with a liquid seal that prevents air from reaching the tobacco.

The post that @Knucklehead linked above shows ways of doing that.

Some years ago, @Jitterbugdude conducted a perique evaluation, distributing home-made perique samples that had been submitted by forum members. The unmarked samples were evaluated by each of those involved. The submissions were made from differing varieties of tobacco. Each was slightly different, though all were quite nice.

You can make your own perique-processed tobacco using burley leaf.

POGreen after 45 years of snus making I’d be terribly interested to read your reviews of different varieties. Have you written anything like that anywhere? I’ve got space for about 200 plants next season and am also planning my menu.

 

[POGreen]

I have used snus for 45 years but only grown my own tobacco for 3 years.

 

[POGreen]

In other words I've been buying snus from Swedish Match for 42 years and growing my own tobacco for 3 years.

Would it do if I gave you my recipe ?
