The best way to salvage dried up pipe tobacco is to :
1. Put it in a clean tupperware container. I use one about 8" square and 2" deep.
2. Get some paper towels - a piece bigger than the top of the tuperware.
3. Wet the paper towel with distilled water ... and wring it out.
4. Cover the top of the tupperware with the towel.
5. Snap on the top of the tupperware and set aside overnight.
6. In the morning your tobacco will be hydrated.
7. Put in in clean mason jars for long term aging.

I have a seperate cooler just for pipe tobacco. I've got about a quarter pound of 65% beads in that cooler with my pipe baccy.

I would recommend simply putting a humidity pack into the mason jar with the tobacco, easy, spill proof, idiot proof and no chance of causing mold

you can get them here

When I used to smoke pipes, I used to put either a orange, lemon or lime peel in the container, Did a good job w/o any unwanted flavors.

I purchased some 2014 C&D Pegasus from a seller on another board and it came very dry. Too dry to smoke, very harsh and hot. Jarred it up in a few pint size jars with a 84% Boveda in each and a few weeks later perfect moisture level.

Wow, for a second there I thought that Mr Morbid had returned from doing rubs on graves!
