[QUOTE="Kyle Weiss, post: 213946, member: 1969"] My only qualm with spritzer bottles or sprinkling water directly on the tobacco is uneven moisture. Tobacco is sponge-like anyway, so exposing it to a moist environment an allowing it to drink up what it feels is the right moisture worked better than direct introduction of water. Also, you run a much higher risk of the tobacco at the contact spots with the direct-water approach soaking up too much, and not allowing the moisture to pass along to other leaves--which could invite mold. Not to mention, steam baths don't require distilled water. Since a story was used about carrying too much in one trip causing an accident, I kind of look at the steam bath approach like the two-trip method of hydrating tobacco. IMHO, YMMV, BFD, YMCA, BBQ...
