My Jars Became Warm Today

[Ryan]

I got home from work today and went to my smoking room (where I also store my tobacco) and it turns out a breaker blew while I was at work and the air conditioner did not run. The room (and tobacco) was at 80 degrees when I got home.

Of course I immediately reset the breaker and started running the A/C, but do I need to do anything else? Can I do anything else? Should I be worrying about mold or anything else?

You can relax. It's all good. 80 degrees temporarily isn't going to be a problem.

 

[MattRVA]

Nothing to worry about.

No problem at all for pipe tobacco

I played golf today in Florida, 90 degrees plus. My balls got hot and sweaty, thankfully though, no mold. Should be good as new after a nice shower.

Jars of Mayo, yeah, but you should be fine.

He's in Sarasota, and I'm pretty sure the Gulf side has a beach. At least it did when I was there long ago.

So whats worse? Moldy balls or tobacco? Just trying to put this into perspective.

Gulf side has beautiful beaches all the way up through Pensacola.

Gulf. Sarasota.

I wouldn't chance it.

There's a hazardous waste disposal facility near me.

Because I'm a humanitarian, I'll even cover the shipping.....

At my age, probably tobacco. But I remember having jock rot once when I was young. Well less than pleasant.

Many courses have ball washers available for this problem.

They didn’t turn blue did they?

 

[anotherbob]

probably went through worse things getting to you in the first place. I think some people might just die if they saw the road tobacco travels before it gets into their pipes.

 

[Terry Lennox]

I wouldn't worry about it. Anything you order in summer sits on a UPS truck for days in the hot sun before it gets to you.

An authority on the subject of tobacco recommended placing any new blends, such as those we may endeavor to make on our own, on the dash of the car in the hot sun for a week or two to meld. Works great too. 80, no biggie.

I tried one of those. Once. Almost gave myself a vasectomy.

Yes but a different shade than in your photos. Different root cause as well.
