Yes the info was that production by hand of this product needs moisture, and that it should be dried open until it feels dry, then closed again, and then after a couple of days check if it feels wet again. If yes: repeat process until the product feels dry even after some more days in the jar. THEN you are supposed to be able to store longer term. All this a bit of a process that I would normally expect to be done on the producers side.. Mine are open for a week now, and still feel moist!Hmmm, that I missed, there was a piece of paper in my package which my basic German told me it wrote "instructions on how to smoke rope tobacco" which promptly went into the recycling bin. Will open my jar right now because yes the Strang is VERY wet.
