There has been much on paper on the subject of extended term pipe tobacco storage space but not much on small term so I though I'd take the time to speak to the subject. For the purposes of this conversation I'll be bearing in mind the storage space of 4 ounces or less. In the precedent it was vogue to place apple slices, orange peels and other similar items in a pouch for the purposes of keep tobacco new ... this is not a high-quality design. The fruits will create to smash downward with high temperature and glow and spoil your tobacco. You'll be smoking and handling all forms of microorganisms and fungus, some noticeable and some not. An unpleasant thought at the least. Pouch humidifiers work so much improved if reserved clean. Distilled water works most excellent and will grow longer the disk's life. How about the ziploc lock luggage that we sometimes take delivery of our pipe tobacco in? They are well for a small number of existences if kept preserved and out of straight glow. If you live in a dry type of weather a pocket humidifier with be just what the physician prearranged ... so to speak. skin and vinyl pipe tobacco pouches work much improved as well as being more distinguished. Make sure the one you choose has a supple rubber or latex liner. The cheaply type typically has an artificial liner that will finally crack and split. In universal roll up or snap kind pouches work improved than the zipper assortment. The zippers on those let air bypass and get immediately simple foul subsequent to a while. Keeping your tobacco in your compartment is OK for the incredibly short term. Keep in mind this.... when the hotness of tobacco rises so done the dampness. When the temperature falls so does the dampness. Yes, I can give you the technical explanation but I'll save you the monotony for the sake of shortness. That being said, assuming your tobacco was at perfect humidity when you set out in the morning, it will become to too moist when left in your pocket or anywhere else above "room temp" for any distance end to end of time and will guide to a hot, wet smoke. All is not lost ... moreover lay out a bowl's worth of tobacco previous to smoking if suitable or just pack the bowl about 10 - 15 minutes previous to your smoke break. Now what if your tobacco got cold and is at the there a bit on the dry side (again a hot smoke)? Almost a no brainer ... warms it up in your hand or pocket. Happy and cool smoking, VegasSmokes
