Worried about dry tobacco?
No need. Here is a helpful guide to restoring your tobacco to your ideal moisture level.
What can I do to re-humidify my tobacco?
During tobacco rag processing, raw tobacco is sent through re-dryers, which pull out all of the moisture. Later in the manufacturing process, the desired amount of moisture is added back to the tobacco. What does this mean to you?
Pipe tobacco is packaged based on net weight. One cubic foot of water weighs 62.37 pounds. It is to your advantage to buy dryer tobacco because you are getting more for your money. If you receive a bag that is not to your preferred humidity level, several remedies are readily available in tobacco chat rooms and/or blogs.
We suggest that you use a mist/spray bottle filled with water, preferably distilled, and lightly spray the tobacco once inside the pouch. Seal the pouch back and let it sit for approximately one hour. You should notice the difference in the feel and taste of your next smoke. You may repeat this process to get the tobacco up to the humidity level of your preference. Be careful not to apply too much moisture as this may lead to a host of other problems. However, if it becomes too moist, simply spread the loose tobacco across a paper towel and allow it to air dry. Then, if needed, you may restart the re-humidification process.
