Whats the proper moisture level for optimal smoking?
This is partially a matter of personal taste and smoking style. Generally, a tobacco that is just pliable is ideal for best smoking. If it’s too moist, it will be difficult to light, difficult to keep lit and will provide a dilute, “steamy” smoke. This is one of the most common causes of “tongue bite.” If the tobacco is too dry, it will burn rapidly, and regulation of the ember can be difficult. It takes a little experimentation to find the your optimal level, but it’s worth the effort.
