I recently got some - and yes, it's wet. I tried drying it, and it become less wet. I prefer crispy dry tobacco (don't judge me - I'm weird) and I was hesitant about this blend. I loaded up a cob and got the snap-crackle-pop upon lighting. For a moment there, I thought my cob was making pop corn.
It has a light taste (to me), but the wife loved the room note. This is a good blend to assuage SWMBO when she complains about the latakia campfires!
