Please note that moisture ratings with these and other German snuffs are something a bit different than with English-style snuffs, as German snuffs are usually moistened with oil (paraffin) rather than water. One can leave them lying open without fear of drying out, which is nice– but they won’t brush off your shirt when you’re clumsy, which is not so nice.
