Tobacco Cut

[puffy]

Right now I'm smoking a blend that is kinda long and stringy.It makes a little hard to pack rignt.I'm about to take some scissors to it.Just wondering if folks have a preference in how blends are cut.

If I had to choose a cut it would probably be flake so that I could prepare it as I see fit.

I kind of like coarse cut personally. I havent had too much experience with flakes, but I have a feeling that would be my number two.

Puffy, have you tried utilizing Fred Hanna's "Air-Pocket" packing method on the long, fine-cut ribbons? I have had astounding success with this combination, but of course, your milage may vary.

Can you share the name ? I use the McGrane method for my Kendal Kentucky, which is really a fine shag cut with long thin shaggy strands and it works like a charm.
