What to look for
A small electric blade grinder works well. Run it in short pulses of a second or two, shaking it as it runs, and do several small batches rather than one long run. Long runs heat the grinder, and the heat can make sticky ingredients such as honey clump.
It's easy to overdo it. Grind too long and you get a fine dust rather than snuff with some body, so stop and sieve, then regrind only what's left in the sieve.
The finest powder sticks to the inside of the lid. Scrape it off and use it as your finest grind. A burr grinder also works. Keep a separate grinder for tobacco, because it'll smell of tobacco afterwards.
