It Is then Subjected to hydraulic pressure, which forms it Into hard slabs, which are cut into bars, wrapped and again pressed. Most pipe tobacco contains a portion of Perique or Latakia', the former grown in Louisiana and the latter in Asia Minor, both too strong to be used alone. Rolls or twists of tobacco are also prepared for pipe smoking. The leaf is spun into coils or ropes of uniform diameter, the rolls are baked for a few hours, and are then placed in strong presses.
