A lot of the tobaccos I like come in flake form. I sometimes feel like a cube cut or fold & stuff, but sometimes prefer them rubbed out for easier smoking. I have seen a couple of threads about different spice grinders, coffee grinders, etc., which, if nothing more, prove that we can convert any subject into a shitstorm of controversy. :wink:
I recently purchased a version of this gadget, and simply wish to report my results. The one I bought is the round rosewood box with spikes driven into both halves. You put whatever you wish to grind into it, press the two halves together, and twist. So far I have used it with LBF, LNF, OGS, and Dark Strong Kentucky.
It works incredibly well to produce a very uniform "ribbon cut". 3 twists clockwise, 3 twists counterclockwise makes the perfect consistency for my preference. I especially enjoyed the result with Bullseye Flake; it disperses the middle plug of cavendish throughout the blend, which I was never able to do with hand-rubbing.
All in all, ten dollars very well spent.
