Do you say "I am adding humidity to my tobacco to put them in proper case"
Or "I am casing my tobacco".
Same word but is used as noun one place and verb in another
Or "I am casing my tobacco".
Same word but is used as noun one place and verb in another

To a pipe smoker this would mean you are adding some sauce or flavoring agent to your tobacco.
To a mafia guy it means your riding by your tobacco and checking it out with Vinnie

If it is plain water it is case
If it is sugars , glycerin , chocolates or anything besides water it is casing's

Page 3 of this link is about how the "casing" cycle on the controller works. It has picture of controller that appears to be made by DeCloet, who specialize in curing chambers and kilns.
3. Casing
8
TO BEGIN CASING
From STANDY press and hold the CASE button for 5 seconds until the light above this button remains on.
This time delay is intentional to prevent casing beginning accidentally. Once a casing cycle is started it can
be stopped by pressing the same CASE button for 5 seconds. Again this time delay prevents casing from
being accidentally stopped.
While the unit operates, the light in the CASE button remains lit, the upper display indicates the dry bulb,
the middle display indicates the wet bulb and the lower display counts down the time remaining in the
casing cycle. A dry bulb temperature of 122F and wet bulb temperature of 113F are automatically set by
the instrument when the CASE key is used the first time. These values can be easily changed and the
instrument will remember and use the most recent values when starting the next casing cycle.
An elapsed time of 8 hours will be set by the DCS-3000 each time a casing cycle is started. This duration
can be changed for the current cycle. The new value will not be stored for future cycles
Here is a good link that describes the same process but calls it "ordering" your tobacco. See page 8.
Keep in mind that "ordering" your tobacco can also mean something else depending on context and circumstance

Casing is a process in which moisture is added to tobacco to bring it back in case or order.
Casing is also the flavoring used on tobacco and I will assume also is the process of adding these casings
I think it depends on your local and conversation context.
