March Meer Madness - 2015

[JustTroItIn]

St. James Flake from our inaugural group buy. One thing I have noticed about this baccy (other than being delicious), is it wet as hell and needs considerable dry time. I don't usually plan my smokes that far ahead so left a few flakes in a plastic bag to be my "ready to smoke" baccy. After almost a week in the bag I pulled out a flake and it was still way to moist for my liking. So I look over and see the heat gun I was using earlier on some estate stems and though....hmmmmm. About 20 seconds with the heat gun and that baccy was good to go.

You sir, are brilliant. That is a great idea!

There's a microwave trick for damp cigars - nuke it for 5 or 10 seconds, blow out the steam, repeat as needed. I wonder if a similar treatment would work on pipe tobacco?
