A method of modifying the moisture level of (e.g., dehydrating) a tobacco plant or portion thereof, a tobacco-derived material, a tobacco product, or a tobacco additive is provided herein. The methods of dehydration disclosed herein can provide various benefits relative to traditional drying techniques, including providing retention of various beneficial components present in green tobacco (e.g., organoleptic compounds and proteins). Smoking articles and other tobacco products including such dehydrated tobacco materials are also provided.

A storage unit is for storing products that can be affected by humidity, particularly tea. An outer container has a closed outer wall, an upper side on which the outer container is open and has an upper edge, and a lower side on which a closed bottom is arranged. An inner container has an inner space for receiving the product that can be affected by humidity, a wall surface provided with a number of air-exchange openings, a filling opening, a sealing edge defining the filling opening, and a closed bottom. The inner container is reversibly placed in the outer container, the filling opening of the inner container being upwardly oriented towards the upper side of the outer container.

Various embodiments and variations of the present disclosure are related to smokable products and methods of preparing smokable products. Each smokable product has a tubular wall that is defined by overlapping leaves. At least some of the leaves have primary veins that lie in parallel with a longitudinal axis of the smokable shell.
