[QUOTE="ftrplt, post: 10077, member: 32"] I go by "feel" also; since in my early smoking days I tended to keep my tobacco much to damp. I was sternly instructed to pinch/press the tobacco between your fingers. If it stuck together, it was way too damp. Conversely, if it just fell apart, it was way too dry. I look for a "spongy" feel to the tobacco; with a slight bent toward the drier side for me. It took a bit of time (a few weeks) and experience, but I got it figured out! Always remember one important aspect about tobacco...it will adapt to the moisture level it is exposed to. Pipe tobacco, cigars, primed leaf in a barn; all will "stabilize' to its environmental moisture level. Nature of the beast! FTRPLT [/QUOTE]
