Pipe Tobacco

Types of Pipe Tobacco Cuts Flake  Tobaccos that have been pressed and sliced, are called Flakes. The pressure aids in the maturing process, and brings out a richer flavor.  Krumble Kake Cut tobaccos which have been pressed are sometimes referred to as Krumble Kake. A chunk of it can be easily rubbed-out into small pieces. Cubed Pressed tobacco which has been cut into fine or coarse cube-shaped pieces is called Cubed. The thick, chunky pieces burn slowly, so Cubed tobaccos are normally quite cool. Rough Cut Tobaccos cut into larger flat pieces are called Rough Cut. This cut burns slowly, and can be used to keep hotter tobaccos from burning too fast. Broad Cut Wide, ribbon-cuts, which burn at an average pace, and pack well, are often called Broad Cut. Ribbon Narrower than Broad Cut, it burns more readily and packs well. Shag A very stringy ribbon cut, Shag can easily pack too tightly, and burns easily.
