What RH are you using?

Pipe tobacco isn't like cigars, they don't like that 60 and above RH at all. They need a drier environment to thrive and age. Making them overly moist just risks mold and loss of flavor. IMO I would never put any kind of humidifying device or agent in any of my pipe tobaccos. If I need to rehydrate some tobacco that I foolishly neglected, then I use the large tupperware and wet paper towel method...

I have had jars with no humidifying agent in them sealed for 7+ years, and when I pop the lid off them everything is 100% happy and perfect. Pretty much found them in the same state that I jarred them away in.
