That's interesting to know. Right before I jar it up, I screen all of my stuff in a stainless wire mesh flour sifter which has just a little smaller than 1/16" squarish openings. I do this to briefly air out the tobacco and to get rid of any really small pieces. Would you say that I am losing "just a bit/some of" or "most/all of" the granulated stuff that you intended for smoking in this blend, or is it generally ground up bigger than my screen holes?
The vast majority of the pieces shouldn't pass through, but there will certainly be some "shake" that will. I'd collect that and sprinkle it on the top of a bowl so you don't lose out on it.
Ok, good to know I'm still probably "capturing the essence" of the blend. I don't recall being bothered by a poor burn, but I will see if I notice one the next time I smoke it. The latakia presence was still there in full effect. The granulated-form latakia would explain why I was seeing so many more fines with the Larrys's Blend than usual when I sift out my tobaccos. Looking now, I see the granulated for sale on P&C. Is that the same stuff? I'm sure that I've seen it for sale before there and forgot that it existed. Probably going to try a little bulk Larry's to see how it is, and then get a larger amount if it's as good in quality and flavor as the tinned. :puffpipe:
