[QUOTE="Zeno Marx, post: 590660, member: 1211"] I've never been too driven to blend, but I do like this whole leaf process. There are a youtuber or two who work with whole leaf. The one I'm thinking of doesn't shred it. He's come up with his own blend and stacks the leaves, after he's trimmed them down to a particular rectangular size, and then pressed them for X amount of time. Then he just treats it like a plug and uses a cutter to make flakes. I think he has an antique bread cutter for that, but you could just as well use a sharp pocket knife. In other words, no special equipment outside a press, but you could just as well cut them into circles and use a noodle maker. I think "ariege pipesmoker" is the most common whole leaf channel, but I'm thinking of Briar Brethren's channel. Here's one of his videos: [MEDIA=youtube]Bjj7XdVmGRg[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
