How do u keep tabacco from drying out?

Question

i buy tobacco in a 6oz. can and use one of the quick fill loaders w/a tube to make a smoke...the drier the tobacco gets the harder it is to make the smoke, any help?

Answer 1

Pipe smokers used to put a piece of apple peel in the pouch and change it every couple of days.

Answer 2

put a piece of potato in with it.

Answer 3

Transfer the tobacco to a more air tight container (i.e. Tupperware, Rubbermaid).  Then get a small sponge and dampen it with water, put in in a small zip top bag, but don't seal the bag.  Put the bag in the container with the tobacco.  This will help to keep the tobacco a little moist, without making it too damp to burn.

Answer 4

Small piece of apple will keep it moist.

Answer 5

Put it in a cold, dark area at least 55 degrees or lower. Heat destroys everything including tobacco.

Answer 6

I have had this problem with cigars. I drive a route truck and keep the cigars on board and they would get drier as the weeks go by.

I have found a way to prevent this by putting the cigars in a large jar (the type with a lever latch on top with a rubber seal) and then about once a week I add two non fragrant baby wipes from Sam's club. The cigars absorb the moisture from the wipe and then I throw them away and add new ones. This has worked all summer and my tobacco has not molded or tasted funny. It has also saved me money.
