Different Types of Tobacco Shredders at Leaf Only
Category: All

For those who enjoy whole leaf tobacco, having the right tobacco shredder is essential. Whether you're rolling cigarettes, preparing pipe blends, or making grabba, a good shredder ensures the perfect cut for your needs. At Leaf Only, we offer a variety of shredders, each designed for different types of tobacco preparation.
Manual Shredders – Perfect for Cigarettes and Pipe Tobacco

Our manual shredders are hand-powered and deliver a ribbon-style cut, which is slightly coarser than a rag cut, and is ideal for cigarettes and pipe blends.
For cigarettes, this type of cut helps the tobacco hold together inside tubes, preventing it from falling out. It also clumps together nicely, making it great for pipe and chew blends. If you prefer a simple, non-electric option, a manual shredder is a solid choice.
Check out our Tobacco Leaf Shredder & Cutter and the Tabletop Fine Cut Shredder Plus for high-quality manual options. We also offer replacement parts to keep your shredder working like new.
Grater-Style Shredders – The Best Choice for Grabba

The Leaf Only Grabba Grater is designed specifically for grabba tobacco enthusiasts. Traditional ribbon-cut shredders aren’t ideal for grabba, and crushing it by hand can be tedious and inconvenient.
These graters are made in the USA from high-quality stainless steel and food-grade plastic, allowing you to easily shred tobacco into perfectly sized flakes, not ribbons—giving you the ideal texture for grabba without the hassle. If you’re serious about grabba, this tool makes the process quick and easy.
Electric Shredders – Power and Convenience

For those who want a faster, more efficient shredding experience, an electric shredder is the way to go. These machines produce a cut similar to manual shredders but require no effort—just feed in the tobacco, and the machine does the work.
Electric shredders are great for those who process larger amounts of tobacco, replicating the smooth, uniform cut found in commercially manufactured cigarettes and pipe blends. Check out the Leaf Only Electric Leaf Shredder for a powerful, easy-to-use option.
