Current Lemon Batch

[ZigZagZeppelin]

I've been a steady buyer, almost EVERY month, for years now of this product. It's been great until this last batch. It seems fresh still, but its way too moist. Too much humuctant on it, cigs dont even burn. I'm now leaving it spread out on a tray just to shred it and be able to half ass smoke it. Hits badly.

The RED is fine in this humidity, it wasnt bagged OVERLY wet down.

Are you talking about tobacco from wholeleaftobacco? By humectant do you mean water? If it's a little more moist than usual, let it dry. If it's a little more dry than you like it, moisten it. It most likely won't come in the exact same case every single time and the amount of water in the product doesn't change the quality of the tobacco itself. I have received tobacco in pretty high case from them before. I lay it out and let it dry until it is at my desired case for either immediate use or long term storage.

Humectants aren't water.

PG and VG are humectants, usually pg is used. Propylene glycol. It attracts and RETAINS moisture. One of 3 Lemon pounds was tossed. The other 2 were normal.

I've bought tobacco leaf for 18 yrs, from many sources.

From what I know, people at wholeleaftobacco.com don't use humectants.
If you have any real issue with the quality of your product, feel free to talk directly with Don (@FmGrowit ) or even call them.

I'm not blaming Don. Just making him aware. whoever is kilning and casing the tobacco may have screwed up part of a batch.

Not looking for freebies.

@Charly is correct. No humectants are used on any tobacco at WLT.
