hey, this seems like a good method, but I have a question, along with tobacco, I personally smoke other herbs, such as mugwort, etc. one issue I have with other herbs is that they are generally not prepared with smoking in mind particularly, and are quite dry, harsh, and fast burning, would this method work for other smoking herbs, or just tobacco?

@yeah1104 I have no experience with other herbs, but I see no reason why the method wouldn't work. Anything that can absorb moisture should be able to benefit from this simple rehydration technique.

i know this is for pipe tobacco but could this also work on a dried up cigar? any info would be helpfull, thanks

@ELREYDELAMOTA13 I've never rehydrated a cigar in this way, but I see no reason why it wouldn't work. The tobacco in the cigar should absorb moisture in a way similar to pipe tobacco. Although it would take longer than this method, the more common method of rehydrating a cigar is to place it in a properly humidified (68% to 72%) humidor until the cigar has stabilized at the proper moisture level. This may take weeks or longer, but it avoids "shocking" the cigar, which is considered undesirable.

Thank you so much for this video.. I have a pouch of tobacco that belonged to my Great uncle (Supposedly, it's about 60 years old, according to my grandfather).. I have a feeling that it may be too far gone at this point, but if by some miracle this works. I will be the happiest man on earth.. At least until the tobacco runs out.

Good cheap way to save tobacco. What percentage of moisture do you prefer for smoking?
