This is 100% why I love this place. We are full of men that have a vision, and can use our mind to achieve it. We are a "can do" bunch.
I'm afraid you give me far too much credit.
So anyway, the puck I took out of my press yesterday was maybe 1.5-2x the thickness of an average flake. Overnight it decompressed and fluffed up to 1.5-2x the size it was when I took it out, losing its can-bottom-contoured shape and a lot of its stiffness.
I broke off a piece and it was still cohesive enough to fold-and-stuff, but in the pipe it was scarcely different than a good packing of loose tobacco. Remember how I was hoping not only that the flavors would marry but that the harshness would go away? Success! It was so very smooth.
It tasted great. It also behaved exceptionally well. No excess relighting. It burned to a fine ash with no dottle whatsoever.
