11% Leaf Only's Flue cured Bright Virginia (shredded)



Then I lined the box with waxed paper:



Then I stuffed in the blended tobacco, folded the waxed paper over the top of it and fastened the lid down with the C-clamps. Then I tightened them as much as I could:



I plan on leaving it under pressure for about 3 weeks. This is my first time doing this and I learned that I could have put more tobacco into the box than I did. So, next time I will increase the recipe from 9 ounces to about 12 ounces.
