Thanks guys, I appreciate your input. I had a bowl of a newly opened tin tonight. It smoked nicely. I'll put it in a jar and dry it as needed, if needed.
Here's a question for you guys that have smoked this blend: how much drying time do you think it needs? Should I open the tin and let it dry for a while and then put it in a jar or go right from the tin into the jar?
Beautiful state, not sure about laws though. There must be a website that can give you info. Maybe a .gov site? I'm in WA, it's no-go on smoking here in public. Tobacco taxes are insane here as well.
