[QUOTE="Zeno Marx, post: 570195, member: 1211"] There's certainly a personal preference learning curve. The good news is that you really can't make too big of a mistake, and if things get a little dry, or too moist, you can remedy it. You aren't going to permanently ruin anything unless you let it get so dry and old that it turns to dust at the touch. I've never had that happen, but I've heard stories. As you experiment with moisture content, I do recommend keeping an eye on things. Watch for mold, though I don't think that happens too often for people. I've never had mold grow on tobacco, but it can, and does, happen. There's also a lot of experimenting to do with how much moisture you prefer at the time of actual smoking. Some tobaccos are simply too moist in the tin and need a little time to dry. Some do it for a few minutes. Some for a couple hours. Some even over night, preparing a bowl of tobacco the day before. It should be fun to find your own path. Leave the stress and worry elsewhere. [/QUOTE]
