Yes, the all metal machine is easy to un-jam and clean. Sometimes loose tobacco powder gets into the mechanism or moist tobacco clogs the chamber.
You get a feel after awhile for the right "push" on the lever and the right moisture level and texture of the tobacco. Some roll easier than others. Some tobaccos are packed looser than others.
It takes some experimenting to find the right tobacco and you can buy 3/4 ounce samplers. To go into it blindly, Premier or Drum are probably good choices to sample. They both roll nicely in machines.
