The last two digits of the code found on the bottom of the can.

For example; a code that reads S13AO2H2. The "H2" is the date.

The "H" represents the month and the "2" represents the year.

H2 would be August 2012

A=January

B=Feb

C=March

D=April

E=May

F=June

G=July

H=Aug

I=Sept

J=Oct

K=Nov

L=December

The letter "I' is skipped in the process. So, J=Sept, K=Oct, L=Nov, M=Dec.

I'm on the phone with the American Snuff Co. right now trying to find an answer to how to tell the date of my Grizzly Longcut Straight can of tobacco.

Look at the last 2 characters of the code on the bottom of the can. The first character of the last 2 characters should be a letter and the very last character is a number. The letter is a code for the month. A = January, B= February, C = March, D = April, E = May, F = June, G = July, H = August, Then they skip I because it looks like a One (1), so J = September and so on..

The last character is a number and it is the last digit of the year. So a Zero (0) stands for 2010. A One (1) would be 2011 and so on. I hope that helps everyone out so we don't all have to call Grizzly to ask. I don't know why they just don't print the date like everyone else. Enjoy and keep on dippin'!

Thank you so much! No other site /question was even close to being as clear. You make it so easy. And agreed why the codes? Just stamp the expiration with 00/00/0000 like everything else duh!? 😀

Awesome, thank you!

The above was useful info, but incorrect. That is not the expiration date, it's the production date. Retailers set their own policy for how long to keep product. I manage the product for my store, and most smokeless product goes back after five months.

Well, honey, you turn that can upside down and look for a series of numbers and letters. The first two digits represent the year, and the next three digits represent the day of the year it was made. So, put on your reading glasses and decode that expiration date like a boss.

The first letter stands for month ,next day, then single number for year . Example A162B0987 =January,16,22. Months start A=Jan all the way down to M=Dec. And the year, is what year ends with 2=2022 3=2023 ,etc.

If it says b2 is it expired?

Grizzly prints production dates, not "fresh by" or expiration dates like Skoal & Copenhagen...so with Grizzly, B2 means it was MADE/PACKAGED in February 2022...if kept sealed, it should remain maximum fresh for about 3 months from that date.
