[QUOTE="Stick, post: 436351, member: 3474"] So, during a recent 'stock check' I discovered that a few of my bagged 'harder to get hold of' blends that I save for special occasions and that are a year or so old were becoming a little a dry. After consulting Mr YouTube for guidance I emptied the blends into bowls, laid a damp paper towel over the top and sealed with a saucer. Some of the blends I had to repeat this a couple of times with until they would clump when squeezed. What I hadn't bargained on is how much of a difference it would make to the taste. As the drying process happened over a period of time I didn't really notice the change, but after the re-hydration the complexities of the 'baccy has instantly returned. To try to combat this happening again I'm currently experimenting with using a large Tupperware container with a rolled up damp paper towel tucked into one corner to act as a humidor. Into this I've placed my opened tins and baggies. We'll see how it goes. I've also just returned from an outing to Ikea where I scored several Kilner style jars as I reckon these might improve things a little. I have to say I'm almost enjoying the 'tinkering' as much as the smoke! [/QUOTE]
