[QUOTE="U-235, post: 338112, member: 3294"] Hello, One of my favorite tobaccos is Gawith & Hoggarth and Dark Flake Unscented. About 18 months ago, I purchased a pound, split it in half, and placed the tobacco into two jars with a rubber seal. I finished one of the jars recently. When I went to open the second jar, I noticed a little white mold on the tobacco. Lately, I have been smoking G&W Dark Flake Unscented quite a bit (almost exclusively) and so I ordered two pounds of it. The two pounds are currently still in the original box but I will need to transfer the tobacco to jars pretty soon before it dries up. I have two questions... First, once mold has grown on the tobacco, is it safe to smoke? Has it become spoiled? Second, is there anything I can do to prevent mold from growing on the two pounds I just ordered? The tobacco is somewhat expensive and I don't want to lose it to mold. I ordered two pounds because I heard that the aging process refines the tobacco. BTW, I tried the search before posting these questions and I could not find much. Just wanted to let you guys know that I tried to do the background work first before posting. Thank you, U-235 [/QUOTE]
