[QUOTE="Ozark Wizard, post: 500198, member: 3652"] For my tastes, I prefer steak to jerky. That is to say, while both have their place, and are fine of themselves, I don't mind paying for some water content. Of course with tobacco, as with meats, it is not so much water content as it is oils. Those oils are what contain the bulk of the flavours, not so much the fibers. You get a nice dank flake like SG St. James Flake, or Stonehaven, those oils from the leaf get the taste going. You let them get dried out, then merely hydrate them, they still won't be quite right. Like if you take jerky and soak it in water, it'll never be that steak again. Rehydrating tobacco seems so much of a grasping at straws. Sure, it slows the burn down. but the flavours seem hollow and wanting, a shadow of their former selves. [/QUOTE]
