Reviving Tobacco?

[nkfm]

So a friend of ours sent us an opened tub of tobacco, Al Amir Apple. It tastes okay and all, but it wasn't in a bag or anything and the plastic tub isn't very airtight. The tobacco is obviously a bit dry and getting "chunky".

Is there any way to revive the moisture in there? Add glycerine or something? I don't want to waste it and trying to smoke it asap, but it's becoming too dry to even do that.

Glycerine. You can buy it at your local food store/drug store. Adding the slightest bit of honey will help too.

i have used a little bit of honey to revive some old, dried out tobacco with great results

I was told to add some honey, work it thru with your hands, then warm it up a little in the micro or stovetop so it absorbs. I had some Layalina banana that had been shipped to me in a broken bag and was completely dried out. I did that and smoked it all!

Honey and Glycerin both work well

I haven't worked with glycerine myself but I have heard it will dilute the flavor so don’t add more than you need to.

Hope it works out for you.

it dose dilute the flavor too much and you will get a soapy taste i sugest doing it bowl at a time

Thanks for the tips. I did do the whole tub at a time, and I added slightly more honey than glycerine. I added a few drops of each at a time, stirred and let it sit for 20 mins then repeated as nesscessary. When it looked pretty good, I packed a bowl. The apple taste did diminish a bit but the honey helped keep it sweet I think. It wasn't bad!
