How old is too old for tinned tobacco?

This might be a dumb question, but should I pop these open and jar them for safekeeping? The vacuum seal could already be compromised by age.

I'd do a test first. Put each one in a ziplock bag, and leave it for a week. Then open each bag and sniff. If you smell tobacco, you should probably open it, rehumidify if necessary (hoping not!), and jar it. If there is no scent, the seal should still be intact.

Nice buy, by the way!

I'd just go ahead and pop them open and jar it. Won't hurt anything by it and you also get to sample the goods! Sounds like a win/win to me.
