You can condition/oil the leather with your favorite conditioner or oil to soften it. That would work fine for a tobacco pouch.

Do you have to add the latex liner or can you just make it out of only leather?

Thanks.

the pouch its for me.. i thought to use only leather.. its better to use smthg to keep tobacco away from the leather?

The ones I have seen in stores have a latex pocket of some sort. Though a hundred years ago I imagine leather only was good enough.

I was hoping someone could lend us some insight.

As far back as the 1920s leather tobacco pouches had a rubber liner.  Can't say about before that tho.

I have lined the tobacco and "other smoking" pouches with 1.5 oz calfskin, lambskin, and goatskin, for the part where the smoking material was going to be.

I used to have one that was lined with some tight weave synthetic, probably nylon. The leather was thin chrome tan.
