A tobacco grinder is used to grind
tobacco into shredded and fine cut tobacco. This is used when you have thicker cut tobacco that you can’t easily shove into your tobacco
pipes. Instead of grinding them using a knife or a mortar and pestle, using the
grinder is the most convenient way to do it.
The tobacco grinder is usually
made of aluminum. The small cylinder shreds the tobacco into strips. It is
composed of two grinders with sharp and interlocking teeth and a collection
chamber where the shredded tobacco is stored. Once the tobacco has been ground,
you can now put it in hand-rolled cigarettes or in your pipe.
To grind tobacco, all you need is
loose tobacco and your tobacco grinder. Here’s the following steps you need to
do:
·
Separate the two halves of
grinder, then put a pinch of tobacco in a 4, 8, 12 o’clock positions and press
the teeth of both grinders.
·
Close the grinder by firmly
pressing on the lid and the bottom part. Note that the grinder will not close
if the loose tobacco is gathered in the middle.
·
Now hold the grinder and twist
the lid, just like how you’d twist a pepper grinder. Just twist and twist until
the lid turns smoothly. When turning is smooth, do one complete turn clockwise
and one complete turn counter-clockwise to make sure that the tobacco is
completely shredded.
·
Gently tap the grinder against
a hard surface to put all shredded tobacco in the collection chamber.
·
To collect the tobacco from the
collection chamber, just remove the lid and bottom half of the tobacco grinder.
·
Your tobacco is now ready to
use.
There are tobacco grinders that
have two collection chambers. The first one holds the shredded tobacco while
the other collection chamber, positioned below the first one, stores the fine
particles of the tobacco which is used as snuff.
You may be wondering if there’s a
difference between herb grinders and tobacco grinders. Well, there’s not much
difference. After all, tobacco is a herb too. Both types of grinder serve the
same purpose. But if you’re going to use the grinder plainly for tobacco, then
you should buy a tobacco grinder. If you plan to use the grinder for your
kitchen herbs, you can buy either.
To keep your grinder teeth sharp,
talk to the dealer about proper maintenance of your grinder. This will lengthen
the lifespan of your grinder.
