I've read some of the threads on the board in the past about preserving and "canning" your tobacco. I have my various leaf stored in varying containers. Some are in screw top glass canisters, and some in rubbermaid glass jars with rubber lids. I pulled out a jar of Squadron Leader last night and it was relatively dry. I'm used to it being pretty moist and I like it that way. Is it to be expected that the tobacco will naturally dry out a bit after a year in a jar? I must also add, that I've placed wax paper on each jar between the lid and the lip of the jar. I really thought this would do the trick. So, now I'm curious if this is normal, or if I need to re-canister everything into screw top lids. I have yet to open my screw top lids, as I've been a bit nervous to do it.
As an addendum, about six months ago, I sprayed distilled water and re-hydrated each jar. I had not previously place wax paper between lid and lip and thought this was the reason for it drying out. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
