Re: Pipe tips for Cigar People, what we've learned...
If you leave your tobacco in a place where the temperature changes a lot it can cause what I call dead spots in the tobacco. Inside a jar the moisture is contained; however, said moisture can be moved around due to heat. If the jar gets hot you’ll notice it sweating on the inside. That’s moisture coming out of the tobacco. That moisture also carries flavor. As it cools back down that moisture will settle in the bottom along with the flavor it carries. What happens is the tobacco that’s on top and exposed loses that moisture and the tobacco on the bottom soaks it up. You end up with tobacco on top that is the dead spot I mentioned.
Gravity can also play a factor in the same way but It takes a great deal more time. Every so often I go through and flip my jars and tins that are stored to keep things evened out.
