Has anyone else noticed this?
If not too dry, just drier than previous production?
I started buying Pease blends about two years ago and it seemed there was a consistent moisture content across the board. They were all at or just slightly above what is ideal moisture for me.
I hadn't needed to buy any new tins for a while, but recently when I did, I was immediately struck by the dryness of the tobacco, out of character with what I had come to expect, in tins of Odyssey and Charing Cross for example. These were too dry for me. It reminded me of the tins of White Knight and Blackhouse I got. Too dry and too much dust.
Did I just get a few bum tins or is this the new norm? I know that C&D has moved and has a new head blender so those could be factors.
