Active humidifcation and sorption isotherms of tobacco

[mooster]

To each his own.

For the future, I'm gonna drop a mini 8g Boveda 62 pack in the bottom of each pipe tobaccy mason jar. I've already found that, after a week, my English blend (sitting at the bottom of an 8 oz jar) is a bit drier than when I opened it.

Of course it was; the longer you smoke out of the jar, the more air replaces the tobacco. Plus, that air leaves (with the moisture from the tobacco) every time you open the jar. But that's not storing tobacco, that's smoking it.

But that's not storing tobacco, that's smoking it.

Huh?

Look, whatever you want to call it, I'm gonna put Bovedas in with my pipe tobacco. If nobody else here wants to, I don't give two monkey turds. I was merely posting something for posterity in case some dude down the road wants to actively humidify his pipe tobacco like I do and searches for the proper humidity on the interwebs. The fact that this thread will live forever in the cyber-ether means my mission has been accomplished.

That is all.
