Anyone else NOT like to dry their tobacco before smoking?

[QUOTE="mark, post: 137161, member: 376"] :lol!: ,,I've paid my dues but I'm still waiting for my regulations and procedures handbook,,,, Frost, I dry flakes whole before I rub, dice or shred depending on the thickness and moisture content. I pull out what I'm going to smoke and keep the rest sealed. There's a point when I know they're good to go. I think they retain enough moisture internally so loss of flavor is minimal. Like Hermit said there are trade offs. I've found drying ribbon is touchy due to the increased surface area. Sometimes loading a pipe and letting it sit solves the problem, cake absorbing the excess moisture. For really moist finely cut tobacco, I toss a couple bowls worth in an empty tin and let it sit,,,,it dries slowly in the controlled environment but won't turn crisp. I forgot a few VA flakes once and had post toasties on my hands. Loaded them in the pipe and breathed through the bowl several times to moisten them up and found they smoked fine, but with a different lighter flavor,,,not bad. It's like understanding women,,,there are no correct answers, only questions [/QUOTE]
