Westminister must have a lot of hype in it because I find it to be delicious.
I have used boveda packs in the past. I won a pile of tins from Jim in the Sue auction one year, and he threw in an open tin if ridiculously old Nightcap that was pretty crispy. I used the small 69% pack, and it took two refreshes until it got to a smokable condition.Do you think perhaps using a boveda pack would work at all?
Mine is a lot closer to Erik's. If you don't care for Pease blends, that's great. More for me!I have heard it said that the main ingredient in GLP blends is hype. My experience bears that out.
Well that was the only tin in my cellar of that type. Needless to say, I have checked the entire cellar.That's the trouble with rust specs. Knowing if it's just a tiny surface blemish, or signs of real trouble. Unfortunately, attemping to scour then off, promotes corrosion...
Not lost any pipe tobacco yet, but lost a few tins of snuff, which corroded from the inside out, and which don't have the paper separation that pipe tobacco does.
I think it would be too high of an RH pipe tobacco should be anywhere from 12 to 20 RH depending on the blend.Do you think perhaps using a boveda pack would work at all?
Thanks. I think it’s going to work. I jarred it up after about three hours. I will test it next weekend.Sorry Bill, I hope you can salvage it. FWIW my method for re-hydration is spread the baccy as thinly as I can on paper plates and cover with two layers of paper towels. Spray distilled water on the towels with a clean spay bottle until the paper towels are moist. stir baccy and re-spray as they dry out. I have had good results from this method. Good luck.
In my days of RYO cigarettes, I'd stuck a small wedge of potato in there. Does the same thing as apples, but instead of imparting an apple flavor, it's much much more neutral. It's still a very good trick.I use dehydrated fruits to rehydrate herb. Apple wedges work nicely, dried in a dehydrator to a pliable leather consistency.

This, except we would throw the apple in raw (not dehydrated).
Dont you worry about mold forming on either the apple or the tobacco?
