How to rainmax grow 2013

[DGBAMA]

Changing flavor of tobacco by the processing method instead of with additives fascinates me in a good way.

Nice job and something else for my to-do list.

The Perique looks great, Maks. I really like the tiny barrel.

That is a really nice looking barrel. Did you add more water when you resealed it this last time?

That's the most "retro" looking press I've seen on the forum. It really looks like a piece from tobacco's past. I'm jealous.

I have two of them. One little bigger. I also find them here at local flea market for 25-35Euros. It is Oak about two liters/ 68 fl Oz.

I didn't even moisten them anymore, that's why I probably have problem to get it apart. It is nice press but little small to get tobacco out
when it is cured but in the other hand it is big. It swallow tobacco like crazy.




It took me almost two hours to get all those leaves apart. I even get few wrapper grade leaves. Half of it I will roll in cigars and the other small parts will go to shredder after drying.
I will close the barrel with new tobacco. Most likely Bosnian Burley. This is how it needs to be cured. I'm happy.

I think you should be very happy Maks, that looks like fine leaf and you obviously know your stuff, do you think the oak barrel adds any color to the tobacco as it does to whiskey ?, great work.

It shore give something but I don't believe we could see it like with whiskey. I stuff the tobacco after the barrel was soaking tea for ten days. I made it from roots of Glycyrrhiza glabra. During this time barrel stopped leaking. Within the pores of oak was also sugar from roots which also donate something. Anaerobic process is the main thing but details are appreciate. But don't tell to anyone. This is my secret.

That was a very, very good grow log rainmax. I use water proof tags on mine so I don't blow it in the planting. I guess I should jot My lay out on a better scale as You do. I just scribble it on a paper and put it up. Great work on Your posting and pics. Love to see some ones great work.
