Good deal. I have been quite pleased with bringing back some fairly dry blends. Most recently using water pillows, laying on top of their plastic bags, which in turn was laying upon the dry tobacco inside of a hard Ziplock container. Took several days to feel right to me. The water pillow got noticeably smaller.
This way no tobacco was actually wet. I hope to reduce any chance of mold in this manner.
Carlos, I've actually had one of those water pillows sprout a lovely bouquet of ugly green mold, so be warned. I think they're meant to be more or less disposable.
As mentioned in the article, rehydrating is not a panacea. The result will never be as good as the original, freshly opened tobacco was, but it can be pretty darned good.
Of course, you read it, so you knew that...
