excess moisture in baccy jars

Correct me if I'm wrong or out of place, but when leaves,tobacco or otherwise ferment (compost) don't they generate a heat of their own?This heat would then release the moisture from the leaves thus creating the fog on the glass due to condensation.

Hi Matthew,

There, you're ruminating real well. Fermentation does indeed create heat. If not monitored and it gets too hot it can ruin the tobacco.

In theory, all tobacco will be fermented before processing and can't be re-fermented further but if some leaf was handled improperly??

I'd say that it's unlikely because there are several mixtures involved but it's darn good thinking on the subject.
