New Pipe Smoker With A Question? Ask an Old Fart

[12stones]

Okay, I got one... What's the best way to rehydrate some dry baccy?

How does one fill (see I'm learning) a pipe with poo?

Cause no one likes tight packed poo.

Pipers clay button has always worked for me. Spray with distilled water and drop in. Day or two and your golden.

Best? I dunno.

If I have totally dried out tobak I put it on a piece of paper and hit it with a plant sprayer, lightly, with distilled water and toss it about to fluff it up. Repeat, allowing time for the water to be absorbed, as needed to get the right feel.

Others swear by the water/moisturizing button tossed in a baggie or jar of dry tobak.

Others say...

BTW, I tested apple slices (THIN apple slices) in jar of dry tobacco and it rehydrated dry tobak just fine and did not mold. I hear that apples mold but, I find, not a thin slice or two. Everybodies grandpa was right - but grandpa didn't toss in half a soggy apple - just a skinny wedge.
