How to Choose Your Grade

  1. Intended use: ceremony (sticks/braids) vs. pipe/blends (cut) vs. snuff base (milled).
  2. Strength sensitivity: select denser, older cure for deeper, slower burn; lighter leaf for milder sessions.
  3. Specs: target moisture, cut/mesh, and packaging for your climate and compliance.
  4. Volume plan: pilots (1–5 kg) → programs (cartons/pallets) with seasonal reservations.
