I was so impressed with the Industrial Shredder Head I bought from Lucas in Poland that I bought a smaller, manual shredder head for pipe tobacco. I discussed with him if he could make me a shredder with a 1.6mm cut instead of the .8mm cut that was on my other shredder. He said yes and 4 weeks later it arrived.
Here it is: Machined Aluminum (1/2 inch thick), ball bearings with a nicely machined steel handle
Another shot showing the handle:
Not too sure how this will show up but here's a shot of the 1.6mm shred (on left) compared to .8mm shred (on right).
The leaf is VBL from Whole Leaf Tobacco
This thing cranks effortlessly and the 1.6mm cut is perfect for a nice ribbon cut. Later today I will hook my drill to it and do some more shredding. If you are a pipe smoker you definitely owe it to yourself to get one of these. Total cost from Poland to the East Coast of the U.S. was about $190.00. Sounds like a lot but it will be the last shredder for pipe tobacco you'll ever buy. The quality is amazing.
If any of you are seriously considering buying one, PM me and I can send you a small sample of the shredded tobacco. The link to the manufacturer is in my Industrial Shredder thread

BT send me some of his home made Perique awhile ago. I've been waiting for this shredder to come in to shred it. I'll let you know how his Perique, mixed with some VBL tastes.
