Save dry tobacco with lettuce

This is an old trick, but some people may not have heard about it so...

If you smoke roll-ups you probably end up with the really dry stuff at the bottom of the packet that you can't roll with very well and ends up being sucked into your teeth. If you'r elike me you always have several old packets lying around in the car etc with some really old dry powder in the bottom.

A trick someone told me ages ago re-moisturises it so it can be saved.

This is best done in a traditional tobacco tin, as you can keep it upright.

Put the dry tobacco in the tin. Cover it with a folded sheet of kitchen roll and then lay one or two lettuce leaves (the fresher the better) on top. You don't need much. The kitchen roll stops the lettuce from collecting tobacco and helps the moisture go into it and the tobacco doesn't taste any worse because lettuce doesn't taste of anything (don't ever use cucumber - I did this once when out of lettuce and my roll-ups tasted foul!)

    I used to use a cabbage leaf :D

    I smoke posh roll-ups now, if the baccy is too damp it stays in the machine and you end up with an empty tube :rotfl:
