[QUOTE="Logs, post: 555211, member: 4464"] I find Latakia and perique the hardest leaf to deal with. My goal is to use a shredder to cut all my leaf into uniform ribbon but to do that I have to unfold each leaf and flatten it out. With broadleaf VA and burley it's easy to do, but latakia and small leaf orientals can be a pain because the leaves are often crumpled and torn and don't flatten out easily. Perique leaves can be flattened out.. they're wet enough to do it but it's just very time consuming. But now I'm thinking there's no way that big manufacterers are spending the kind of time I am straightening out leaves before they shred them. I've started looking at the latakia in commercial blends and nobody's really doing what I'm trying to do. The latakia looks like it's chopped rather than cut into ribbons. The same with perique [/QUOTE]
