Do tobacco products have a shelf life?
Pre made cigarettes such as Marlboro, Mayfair B&H Silvers are vacuum sealed in the plastic wrapping so they will last for 5-7 years in the box, however if the box is opened to the elements then the shelf life goes down dramatically. My Marlboro Red’s lasted for 2 months during my non-smoking era, after the 2 months there was mold and all other sorts of furry things growing all over the cigarettes. Rolling tobacco lasts the same when sealed but does go rather “crispy” after 5 months. If the tobacco isn’t sealed then your looking at a shelf life of 1 week due the moisture in the actual product (Golden Virgina has the most moisture).
