Guys

If tobacco becomes too dry, how do we bring it back to life? How do we store it?

    throw it in a metal mixing bowl and spritz it with some distilled water. Then store it in a mason jar when you are down. Also you can put it in a bowl with a damp paper towel placed over top of the bowl; this method takes longer, but it will work as well if you don't' have a spray bottle handy.

    Mason jars with a 2 piece lid are the way to go for storage. I jar everything as soon as I open it and have not had anything dry out this way. If left in a tin or bag even a ziplock it will dry out after a while.

    What if it is too moist? Iv had some left in my truck for a few days and it wont stay lit. I assume that it is too moist.

    Will it dry out if left open?

    Yes, From what I can tell a lot of tobacco is packed/sold a bit moist and will smoke better if I let it sit out a little, anywhere from 15 min to an hr. This is one reason I'm not too worried about having some in a fold over pouch. If it gets to dry it loses flavor and burns hot though.
