Superior technique. I like that it's so fast. Looks like a collendar with fewer and smaller holes is key.

Oh yeah , its a stainless collendar . I should have mentioned that but Im getting over being pretty sick and my head is " gone "

Its super fast if the tobacco is slightly dry . If you get stuf thats more brittle , like dry dry , maybe twice as long is all . The process has no ill effect on the blends taste , performance or whatnot . I had gotten the idea from seeing how FGT moistened their stuff back in the day . They didnt use a collendar but it made my brain see it . The touch and holding of it is a breeze too . You know how things should feel , especially if its a blend youre familiar with . It super simple
