PSA: Check your tins for rust.

[skullnbones]

I was packing up some tobacco to send to another BOTL and made a horrifying discovery. I picked up my last tin of Penzance and the bottom felt rough...


I go to pop the lid and it came off with no effort at all. Here's what I found inside, along with a brick of dried out tobacco.


I threw the tobacco in a bail top jar and I'm slowing adding distilled water back to it but I doubt it will ever be the same. So check your tins, gentlemen. I don't want to see anyone else lose good 'bacy.

Toss in a piece of lettuce. I have heard that works very well.

That's a nightmare right there...

Damn, that's too bad. I hope the tobacco can be salvaged.

I've heard a piece of white bread in the jar will help rehydrate it...

I've done the white bread trick with cookies and brown sugar before but I've never thought about doing it with tobacco. I don't want to do anything that could potentially cause mold.

Watch the dagner video on you tube about haunted bookshop. He did it and it worked great!
