Is it prepackaed tobacco? What brand?
I put mine in a tuperware container and simply leave it open a few minutes before I start injecting. I take from the top, then it air dries as I pack.
Unless you are in an extremely humid environment I would think prepacked tobacco would dry enough in 5 to 10 minutes.
Maybe someone else would have a different opinion though, but 4 hours seems extreme. |

| Man, even when I get a batch of wet Drum shag, it only takes 10 Min in an air conditioned room to dry sufficiently. Make sure it doesnt get too dry, it can cause just as many problems as too wet. |

No problem.
For more, Rolands signature contains a link to some excellent MYO/RYO information.
MYO save money and keeps funds away from the anti-tobacco crowd. |

You have to watch, though, a lot of companies that produce bulk tobacco also participate in the Master Settlement Agreement. |

My last order of Sagamore light and halfzware was really, really moist. While we were camping, I set a blended batch out in the sun for four hours and it got a little too dry, but not bad. |

I agree completely. I used to smoke Gambler light, then noticed they contibuted to the MSA, so quit immediately.
That said however, Bulk tobacco is taxed, and contributes to the MSA at a far lower % then premades. |
