Hey friends. Forgive me for the novice questions... I have searched through the forums and internet and have some idea...
Question #1: Is really dry tobacco a bad thing? I just unsealed some daughters and ryan Rimboche SJ with Perique and it's a very dry tobacco. I smoked some and while I liked the flavor, it did burn rather hot and fast. I have some other tobaccos that have seemed to dry out from age... Are they degraded? Can/should I revive them? Are they perfect the way they are?
I guess I don't know if dryness/moisture is always/never a bad thing.
At what point do you throw tobacco away or attempt to revive it... if that's even possible.
Question #2: It seems some folks like aging tobaccos... I like the idea of buying a lot of something I like so I still have it with the Tobaccolypse occurs... do I need the tightly packed tins or are the loosely packed tins also good? I understand less air and more densely packed is better - are those loosely packed sealed tins good enough to preserve the qualities of the tobacco?
Thanks, G
