How dry is "too dry"?
Thanks for all the responses, folks! I really appreciate it. As always, it sounds like the answer is… it depends. That’s perfect. I’ll continue to play and experiment. That’s why it’s called a hobby, right??- RatchetT

How dry is "too dry"?
I’ve never tried flake (kinda am one, but that’s a topic for a different thread!). I do tend to prefer aromatics. Any suggestion?- RatchetT

Very cool. One of those by itself in that pouch might get it broken in a bit! Thanks!!- RatchetT

How dry is "too dry"?
Really? Maybe I'm weird, but it seems like dry tobacco has no taste. All of the comments and discussion about letting stuff dry out baffles me. Guess I'm still too much of a newb. ??- RatchetT

How dry is "too dry"?
Exactly. Carrying it for the weekend is all I had in mind. The old Peterson pouch works great, but it doesn't have a place for anything other than the tobacco. Thus, the new one that has a place to store a few things. Crunchy was not good. It burned very hot and quickly. It was like setting...- RatchetT

How dry is "too dry"?
I thought of something like a conditioner on the outside, too, but I'm leery of that approach, only because I don't want things to taste like saddle soap! I don't know why it would if it's only on the outside, but with my luck, it would ruin the pouch forever. I don't like my tobacco dry. At...- RatchetT

How dry is "too dry"?
My wife got me a wonderful new pouch for tobacco. My lighter fits in it perfectly, it has a spot for a pipe/tools, and it holds a decent amount of tobacco. However, it is brand new leather that is bone dry, so whatever I put in it has every bit of moisture sucked out of it within an hour or two...- RatchetT

Relights - Maybe it’s just me
If I packed any lighter, it would never stay lit. And I’ve never found a tamp to help keep it lit. Again, maybe it’s just me. ??- RatchetT

Relights - Maybe it’s just me
He grabbed my hand, not the pipe. He wasn’t being aggressive at all. Just an older gent doing what he thought was helping out an ignorant young buck. That’s not the case. I just do like the burnt taste of relighting ash. Kinda like I’m not gonna run my finger through an ashtray and lick it. It’s...- RatchetT

Relights - Maybe it’s just me
Relights are part of it. I get that. But… am I the only one who gets a brief taste of ash when relighting after smoking for a bit? I remember, years ago, some guy watching me lightly scrap the ash off to relight, and he grabbed my hand saying, “ no, no, no, you’re messing up the pack!” OK. And...- RatchetT

Nice to Meet You!
Hi folks, I'm not new to the pipe/cigar world, but it has been twenty years since I picked up either. No real reason, other than I didn't have many places/options to light up. I have a "home" office these days that is isolated, which gives me a place to get back to my vices. Or, at least a few...- RatchetT
