I am not a pipe guy but are making some pipe tobacco for a nephew. I have made some Black Cavendish that I believe has promise and it should be better when I blend some Latakia a gracious member of this board is sending. What I can't wrap my head around is the proper moisture content of the tobacco; I have three batch's and I have added bourbon vanilla, brandy vanilla and plain vanilla (he is just starting with a pipe and still likes favored tobacco) and this adds moisture, but I don't know if I should dry it out more or add moisture. I don't have a way to measure moisture content, but I could put a hydrometer in the bags and get a reading of the relative humidity.
What say you pipe guys.
