Shag Tobacco

Shag cut tobacco is a mechanically cut pipe tobacco. It tends to contain a blend of fine and rough cut tobacco, and each strand will be a minimum of 1.5mm long. The word ‘shag’ is used to describe this tobacco due to how it looks – the mix of cut tobacco strands resembles a shaggy texture.

As a pipe tobacco, it tends to be slightly damper than hand-rolling tobacco, and as such, it burns slower and provides a stronger flavour. Shag pipe tobacco should only be used in pipes and not for hand-rolling cigarettes. The intense flavour of shag pipe tobacco can be better suited to more experienced smokers.

Shag cut tobacco is ready to be smoked as soon as you open the pouch, but it needs to be kept in an airtight container long-term as the thinner cut of shag tobacco makes it more susceptible to drying out.

Disclaimer: Due to some hand rolling smokers using shag tobacco for hand rolling purposes, HMRC have taken action to stop this abuse of the tobacco taxation. HMRC have defined that any tobacco where the strands are less than 1.5mm will be taxed as a Hand Rolling tobacco. All shag tobacco produced as of January 2011 will be cut above 1.5mm. This is a pipe tobacco and is taxed accordingly. It is a criminal offence to use shag tobacco for hand rolling and we at Havana House do not endorse this.
