Hello my name is Pappyo and I am fairly new to rolling my own cigarettes. I have purchased whole leaf a couple of times and am amazed at the shape the tobacco shows up in. I understand it has to be condensed for shipping but does it have to be such a tangled up mess?

Who was the vendor? The cigar leaf I buy from www.wholeleaftobacco.com is always frogleafed and stacked very nicely. WLT also owns this forum.
if you want it nice and flat stacked, you have to pull it out of the bag, bring it to a medium case, and spread the leaves out and stack them flatly.
You should do that when you get an order of tobacco anyway, to make sure that the leaves are not too wet, and won't mold in storage.
WLT seems to be less of a concern for that. They tend to ship at a lower case. I have yet to open a bag from them that needed drying.

For cigarette tobacco I like the threshed best because there is less stem to deal with and more cigarettes for the $. There is nothing neat about the threshed leaves but it really don't matter when I'm just turning it into short shreds to fill tubes.
