Tobacco Grinders: Use and Maintenance

 

Tobacco grinders are especially useful if you roll your own cigarettes or cigars. Make sure you know how to use it before you buy one. Here is a brief outline of how to use tobacco grinders.

1. Separate the two halves of the grinder. Place a pinch of tobacco in the 4^th, 8^th, and 12^th o’clock positions. Press the tobacco down between the teeth of the grinder. Press the lid of the grinder onto the bottom half. Afterwards, press the teeth on the top of the grinder into the tobacco.
2. Twist the lid back and forth while holding the grinder upright. Continue doing this until all the tobacco is shredded. Then, tap the bottom of the grinder against a hard surface, to put the tobacco in the collection chamber.
3. Remove the lid and the bottom half of the grinder from the collection chamber. You will get some finely shredded tobacco that is ready to be used. Not that there are some tobacco grinders that have another chamber below the collection chamber. This second chamber is designed to collect fine particles of tobacco that can be used as snuff.

Tobacco grinders are very easy to use. But over time, they accumulate residues that cause grinders to function less efficiently. So it is not enough that you know how to use your grinders. You must also know how to maintain it. Maintaining tobacco grinders are essential to maximize durability and ensure optimal functioning. Here is a brief outline of how to clean and maintain tobacco grinders.
