Tobacco Shredders, Manual vs Powermatic S

[deluxestogie]

Seems to me the cut size difference would affect its BURNING not the taste. The blend of leaves chosen and moisture content might affect taste, not the cut.

Cut size varies how well it burns.

While it's true that the shred width influences the burn, that directly affects the burn temperature, which will impact the volatiles released. This, in turn, affects the taste and aroma.

Makes sense, temp will influence taste.
