I found my Latakia flake pretty dry in the tin for no apparent reason. I put a couple of small balls of cotton dampened with water it seemed to help a bit .

So, beg pardon, I need to get myself up to speed, Columbo-style. Let me fish a machine made cigar out of my trench coat pocket. What is going on here?

A tin exploded after being left on top of a wi-fi router? I am not interested in diagnosing the cause of this fluke accident. There are other people here with better forensic skills than mine. The issue that interests me is that the OP seems to need a way to rehydrate this tinned tobacco. It is somehow nuked. Am I right with that?

People seem to be offering opinions on how best to hydrate wi-fi-exploded tobacco. I think I have this straight. This story is very hard to follow. There are so many details.

If this is about rehydrating the wi-fi-ed tobacco, I have an answer. Two words: apple slice.

I will politely disagree.

Orange peel is also an acceptable answer from what I am told.

There are two schools of thought. You have the Peterson-Savinelli camp who will always opt for anything citrusy and froo-froo, and, then, you have that oddball corps in the Grabow/Medico/Kaywoodie he-man faction. This last crew will tell you it is either apple slice or go home.

I'm solidly in the G/M/K faction, but I am able to reach across the aisle and discuss weighty topics such as this and, while froo-froo, I will allow that their opinion holds some water.

I would like to get together to discuss this observation with you and show you that you're wrong.
