I think Embers has a point here. If you smoke Captain Monochromatic Grape as he does you are going to know an awful lot about burning moist tobacco. Remember if you could travel back in time and leave a pouch of that in a Pyramid 2000 years ago it would still moist and smokable if discovered by Howard Carter when he opened the tomb!

I used to dry out aromatics but the overnight wait was cutting into my smoking time. Finally realized packing lighter helped the burn and moisture issues and translates well to non aromatics as well.

Plugs are pretty moist as well. If it is pliable enough to chew its good to go in a pipe in my opinion. But then you are talking to a person who thinks Cannon Ball chew is one of the 8th wonders of the universe, followed by Levi Garret and if only they would make a whole threshed leaf plug as opposed to the sticky bar they have misnamed a plug then all would be right with the world!
