How Do I Dry My Tobbaco

[Kozeman]

Pipe smokers are a patient lot anyway. It’s just part of the appeal.

When you pop the tin at 5:15 but need to be on the road at 5:30 patience isn't an option.

Too many preconceptions about pipe smoking. It's just another way to smoke tobacco.

Most of my blends are ready to smoke but if it's too moist I put a couple of bowls worth in a tin and put it under a lamp for as long as it takes. Usually just a few minutes does the job.

I set mine on a piece of paper, like thick sketch pad paper, and put it under a lamp for a while...till it’s right. Very few blends I dry anymore, unless it’s brand new, fresh out of the tin and soaked like some SGs.

I have always just struggled through it. Unfortunately my tobacco usually goes dry before I can get through it.

I like to dry tobacco under my small desk lamp in the office. Move it around a bit to evenly dry and when it feels right pack it up and smoke, time depends on the blend, some aros never fully dry out properly.

Air dry works best for me. If you live in a very humid location you can either move or find a mild heat source to help dry it out. I’m not a fan of nuking as I experience a “cooked” flavor to nuked tobaccos.

I never dried tobacco in a microwave. I never even thought of it. To me tobacco is a precious organic product and doesn't belong in the same sentence as microwave energy. They are totally dissimilar.

Air-drying worked just fine for me.

Nice to get the support, above, for my view.

So you eat inorganic food? ?

So - heat. Just pack it, light it, and roll with it!

I have found a new use for those old Prince Albert and Carter Hall tubs. put you moist gooey aro's in there and after about a month they are dried out good enough to pack and go

Air dry works best for me. It’s a good way to monitor the amount and duration. I only dry a few ounces at a time, or whatever I plan to smoke right away. Depending on humidity and “wetness”, 1-2 hrs usually gets the job done...
