$5 misting bottle on Amazon, $1 gallon jug of distilled water. This is not rocket science and really doesn't need to be.
I hate that you’re right about this.$5 misting bottle on Amazon, $1 gallon jug of distilled water. This is not rocket science and really doesn't need to be.
This. Distilled water does not remove the oils.I put my tobacco in a food storage container. I make a digit in the center, put in a 1oz container of distilled water uncovered. I put the cover on the container on a seed starter warming mat. I leave the mat on for short periods, one I see a little humidity inside. I check on the blend daily until it gets to my liking. Hope this helps.
Are you indicating that good tap water does?This. Distilled water does not remove the oils.
Just what was recommended in my journeys.Are you indicating that good tap water does?
I've not had a problem with using tap water at all when I don't have distilled water handy.
I have rehydrated using Whiskey, but I wouldn’t call it a success.I have a 1/2 tin left of Frog Morton Cellar. Has anyone had success rehydrating the whiskey barrel stave with whiskey to add a deeper flavor and some moisture into the tobacco?
Thanks for the input. Useful.I'm glad I found this thread.
I was just about to post a question about how to rehydrate tobacco.
One thing I've found is that tins can't be counted on to keep tobacco from drying out. The plastic lids must not seal tight enough.
A couple of tins that I bought some time back have gotten a tad more dry than I'd prefer. Especially some shag cut.
I put them all into a humidor and put in one of those cups with the sort of gel crystal stuff. That seemed to keep it from drying any more but didn't really rehydrate it. As an experiment I put a half dropper full of distilled water right in the tin and put the top on and shook it up. I left it in the humi over night and this morning it seems to have worked. Of course the concern is always mold. But I think I'm OK. It seems to have hit the sweet spot in terms of being moist but not over moist. It smokes fine.
I find that dry tobacco is harsh as is over moist tobacco.

Exactly what I’ve been doing. Get a new bottle and wash it out with distilled water. Since I like to have a variety handy I’ve ordered a bunch of 5 by 7 Mylar bags. Mylar is far, far better than plastic bags. I think I have about 12 bags of dry baccy, all being transferred to Mylar.$5 misting bottle on Amazon, $1 gallon jug of distilled water. This is not rocket science and really doesn't need to be.
Clean potato peel works very well.I'm glad I found this thread.
