Wilke Sailor Jack Very Chunky

[OSOBUCO]

As the title said. I just opened some sailor jack I bought last year and it looks like forest floor. Big chunks of leaf and challenging to pack even after i further shredded it by hand. See pic. That is what it looks like after i shredded it. Is this normal for some blends?

I can't speak to this particular blend, but this is what you get from slicing a lot of true plugs made with whole leaf. Careful packing has always given me a good smoke. I can add that the stock product image from Wilke does look a little chunky, but definitely not this rough.

I'd say that's how the tobacco John Brandt uses was sent to him.

I'd give him a call!

I sent him an email. I was wondering if it was just me and this is normal for some blends. Even after two years of piping I am still learning.

John let me know this is normal as he cuts up cigars by hand for the blend. I learn something new everyday! And he is a great guy!

Definitely a great guy! I’m due to put in a good sized order!
