How to Keep RYO Tobacco Moist

RYO tobacco, better known as "roll your own," is loose-leaf tobacco that has not been rolled yet. Most RYO tobacco brands come in a pre-sealed package. When the package is opened, the tobacco tends to dry out if not stored properly. Once the tobacco dries out, it loses flavor. The best way to preserve moisture and taste is to store the tobacco in an airtight container with apple peels or wet cotton balls.
