I had two jars of vintage tobacco. When I went to look at them a while back one of the jars had tobacco balls the size of ping pong balls. Though I had seen nothing like it before it was not hard to imagine it was mold or yeast.
I bought a bottle of PG from SP. After doing that and before it arrived I checked for a PG from another source, not necessarily for tobacco. I found food grade, kosher PG for 16 oz for ten bucks. Small price to pay for something to help keep down mold. Did I dump it in my remaining jar? Nope. I watered it down and put on a humidor disc. The tobacco has not taken on any goopy qualities. I have since used it with other tobaccos and have noticed no alteration in the smoke quality.
Bottom line, PG gets a bad rap. Next review will be rated X

This was the background to movies produced by such greats as Ed Wood and Lenny Bruce. Any time you would see a dinksy looking "broad" walking downtown this music was in the background. It ain't sexy, but it is cold "the streets." |

To avoid mold and goop you can also use diluted calcium propionate. Very inexpensive and a food grade material (it's used in bread). Just dilute with distilled water and spray it on the tobacco. I think it's a 1% solution, so a little goes a very long way.

I add it to my Bourbon to keep the yeast in my farts at bay. TMI? |

If you add anything to bourbon, it isn't bourbon anymore. So when a beloved Kentucky Distiller takes 140 proof KSBW and adds the Blessed Kentucky Lime Water to it to bring it down to 86 proof it is no longer bourbon? If it is still bourbon and I add water to it is it no longer bourbon? My whole life hinges on your answer, so break it to me gently |

Water is allowed, along with corn and other grain such as wheat and rye. PG is NOT allowed.
