Unlike most here, I prefer my tobacco moist. I think freshly opened, moist tobacco packs much easier, and for me at least, offers a longer smoke.
If it were mine, I'd load up a bowl, and go enjoy it. Love Trout Stream.
I bought a pound of Trout Stream from P&C last week while it was on sale. I have not let it dry at all. It lights easily and stays lit. Good stuff! Hope you enjoy it.
Most aromatics are pretty wet. I dont smoke much of them but when I do I usually let it dry for an hour or so before I smoke it. I tend to get some gurgling when I smoke it wet. I have heard pretty good things about this blend though, hope you enjoy.
I also picked up a pound of Trout Stream with the P&C sale - too good of a deal to pass up at $25/lb & I think it's still going. Jarred it up but sampled some fresh without drying & it was terrific. Tastes good, smells good, burns relatively clean, and leaves a wonderful room note. What's not to love?
