I have a few half empty Bernards containers and I noticed the A/C seems to be dehydrating them. What is the best way to add moisture …perhaps just opening the container ‘access port’ while in the steamy shower in the AM ?

Do the indirect method. Put the snuff in a bowl, place a smaller container with water inside of the bowl and seal it up. Wait a day or two.

If the oil is dried, I don’t know what to do. Experiment with a drop of butter or lard, but be warned that will go rancid if not used quickly.

A little Medicinal liquid paraffin, NOTE! this may by just a British medical term. It’s not what you would fill your oil lamps with.

I, too, found my schmalzler (Poschl Schmalzler A) quite dry, as I had left the container open. I tried water first, but it didn’t really bring back the original fluffiness. I had read here schmalzlers being moistened with butterschmalz (clarified butter) and I happened to have the Indian version, ghee, in the pantry. I mixed a half a teaspoon to approx. 30gr of schmalzler and let it rest for a day or so. The result was very good. It still hasn’t gone rancid in four or five months.
