I’m pretty tired of drying tobacco bowl by bowl. I bought 65% RH Boveda packets and am putting them in my open tins. The goal is to get the whole tin to a “perfect” moisture content. Anyone else have luck with this? How do you go about making your tobacco smokeable?

When I crack a tin open, I just let the tobacco dry in a tray to a moisture content slightly higer to my liking. It then goes into a Mason jar.
I use boveda for my cigars, and I have noticed that they are fine to upregulate humidity , but not as efficient the other way round (which makes sense if you look at how they work).

I think people over exaggerate the necessity for Boveda packs.
If you're cracking a tin and smoking it consistently, you can just leave it out (lid closed) and let it naturally dry out. This is probably fine for a couple of months (up to 6/8 months where I live) before you'd have to worry about it drying out "too much".
It'll depend on the relative humidity and temps where you are, but you'd be surprised how dry it really needs to be to be TOO dry to smoke.
