Thanks, Brian, super helpful info. I forgot and left some good quality pipe tobacco in my car, and it is completely dried out and, as you said, very unpleasant and difficult to smoke. I'm gonna try out your method right away!
AWESUM ~ I BEEN BUYIN FROM YALL FOR ABOUTA YEAR & I HAVE BEE VERY HAPPY WITH MY ORDERS ~ I HAVE SAVED ALL THE TOBACCO THAT HAS GONE DRY OVER THE YEAR ~ TODAY I GOT CURIOUS & LOOKED AROUND & BOOM THEIRS A FEW HELPFULL VIDEOS ON Y.T. 😊
High temperatures and humidity where I live in on an island in the Eastern Mediterranean with pipe tobacco quickly drying out so I only store limited amounts of tobacco at home. For everyday use I place orange or lemon peel in the the tobacco tin with the outer or dry side of the peel resting on the tobacco, it works well keeping the tobacco hydrated but not wet. I’ve used the same method for hydrating old stock dried out tobacco which takes very much longer with successful results. I’ve not noticed any flavouring issues caused by the peel although the old stock dried out tobacco’s have already lost any natural or topping flavours anyway.
I'm new to pipe smoking and am trying different tobaccos. I bought a pouch of Sir Walter Raleigh Aromatic and it's very very dry. It stinks like old socks and smokes terrible. I don't get why it's called Aromatic because it stinks. Will it come back to life with a little moisture or does this brand just stink? Thanks for the tip on rehydrating.
Right. I know this is an old post, but I agree with you. I'm not a fan of Sir Walter Raleigh either. As far as pouches of tobacco, I have found Captain Black varieties to be much better. Especially Captain Black Original. And of course, the bulk or tinned pipe tobacco's at a tobacconist are the best route for really good smoking experience.
Sorry, I 100% disagree with this. All pipe tobacco will smoke optimally when dry. It will offer all the taste, complexity and smoking quality it has to offer when sufficiently dry. Dry means dry. Not sticking together and not crumbling to dust.
Seems like my cigs burn really fast when tobacco is dry. I also find that often times the cherry gets really long and cig burns down on one side. Not sure why this is. Gonna try this paper towel trick.
Dry is bad; it crumbles, burns too quickly, has little to no flavor, and bites like a mad mule. Cured is what you want; feels springy but not wet or damp, tastes like it's supposed to, and doesn't have a bite. Dry means dry, and that's not how your tobacco is meant to be smoked.

Excellent! Please let us know if it worked for you?
Was a bit skeptical about this but gave I a go and it's worked well
It works!. I do it often.
I didn't know Colonel Sanders had a TH-cam channel.
😂
I was going to say the same thing! The Colonel Sanders of tobacco 😂
I’m going to try it with cigars
I have just put a piece of bread in side the bag, depending on how dry one piece on each side and mix up a couple times until moist
Great vid greetings from the UK where us smokers are a dying breed
You had me with the opening song
Thank you so much 4 rhe tip on dry tobacco

Use distilled water to moisten the paper towel 🙂
Why?
@@szwedy1 less likely to have mold growth than tap water
Thanks for the help 😊🍂
I use apple slices.
My father taught me that as well
I do this with ryo cigarettes and it works fine.
Can you put a slice of orange or apple in it instead of paper towel and would that effect the flavor of the tobacco?
I have used a slice of apple overnight and it works great and imparts no flavor.
You can risk getting mold this way

The bread trick works really good.
And you don't have to worry about mold if you watch
❤ thank you very much❤

How do I remove the sour taste from tobacco?
Will a left over container work if I don’t got a bag?
Yes a container will work as long as it has a lid, then it should do just fine
What if i remove tabacco out cigarette, and then put it in the bag?
im assuming it should work as this trick works for bringing dried crunchy loose tobacco back from the dead
How big is that bag of tobacco wowzers
What about the humidifier pouches? I used to use them for cannabis
How much tobacco can i put in the baggies?? Thank you
All you can fit without the wet paper touching the tobacco.
I have a tobacco either is too wet or too dry but is hard to light up.
That would be too wet
I use an apple, gets tobacco wet within a day
That's amazing! Does it affect the taste of the tobacco?
I might try this with pot 🤔
hmmm it might work! 🤷♂️
This does work. You can also use lettuce as well

Never buy big bags of tobacco

Disinformation as fuck
Mine doesn't have the taste that it had when it was more moist, not even really dry yet
