[QUOTE="balkan_boy, post: 435205, member: 3469"] There are tobaccos that are best kept moist, and smoked dry. FVF for example. I open the tin, take out a flake, and close it immediately in order to keep it wet. Then I rub out the flake, spread it thin across the table or piece of paper to dry for half an hour or so until it reaches the desired dryness level and then I stuff it into my pipe. That way it preserve best all the goodies. If you dry it in the tin, you're gonna have a bad time. There are other tobaccos however, (mostly Latakia blends) that are best when left open for a while to catch air and lose some moisture. I like them more on the dry side, so I do that regularly. Open the tin, sniff it good, leave it open for a while, and then pack. 30 minutes of air can make a lot of difference. [/QUOTE]
