Kizami

[Chris Slenker]

To the best of my knowledge in the beginning kizami was finely shredded with extremely sharp cleaver style knives....

I found japanese drawings of them using gullitine style machines .... here is modern one for sale , check out the video

Japanese Kizami tobacco

It sure would be nice to get this fine of a cut at home, but I don't have any idea how to even get close to this. They say the cut is finer than human hair. The pipe that is used to smoke this is called a Kiseru. Has anyone ever heard of this tobacco before?
