Not excessively wet, I prefer dry tobacco and it didn't take long for the Patriot flake to dry out. So no, not a lot of moisture. When I opened the tin I was suspicious about it. (Something tinkling around the cranium) The flakes had what I would call a plume look. Now those plumey spots are forming mold and there was a big hairy monster on one of the flakes. I opened the jar outside to inspect the flakes, but didn't touch the tobacco. I've had the tin opened for about two months I guess. Like I said above I've smoked quite a bit of this stuff and had about three or four flakes left. Yea, JP, I've not had much of a mold problem except the C&D Bijou scare. So I'm thinking this tin came infected. But who knows. Perhaps someone else has a tin of Patriot Flake doing the same thing, if so this thread is a life line. #MeToo :crying:
