I use a meat slicer. Paper thin slices.

Awesome.

I have been using a sharp, sturdy tactical knife.

Well gents after sampling the generously provided sample I must concur this stuff is very, very special! What an amazing aroma and the flavor is outstanding! Oh and be prepared for the tiniest little plug of super dense tobacco goodness. Ozzy you are the man!!!

Salty Dogs is the cats meow. An Ulu knife is an excellent tool for plugs.

You can always easily peel a layer off and cut that up as you please.

You don't want to do that with pressed blocks. I believe it was Mr.Pease who commented on someone recommending doing this, and he said that when blocks are made, they're done in layers, so if you peel off a layer, you aren't experiencing the entire blend. He said to always cut, or break downward, through the block to experience it how the blenders intended.

If someone remembers differently, please correct me.

That actually makes a great deal of sense. I've always tried to cut through the layers to get a sampling of everything.
