To read the backwoods tobacco dates one must observe the packing their products come in to find numbers. Then they must look at the formatting and determine whether or not it is a date.
This is not an answer but a question. What is the manufactured/ expiration date. Please and thanks

Cigarettes and other packaged tobacco products will last for a longer period of time. It will not matter a lot when the tobacco is taken out of its packaging. However, from the moment the seal or packaging is removed, the tobacco will start evaporating small bits of moisture that is contained in the tobacco, causing it to dry. Dry tobacco burns different and might have a different taste.
Salsa can last up to 2 months past the epiration date. Note the jar of salsa must be un-opened.
