Gents,
Do hard soaps expire? have you had any go bad? Thinking of picking up a couple of bowls of Tabac, and they seem like they will last a while, so it could be 2 or 3 years before I work my way through both...
How long do hard soaps keep?

Sitting in the morning sun
I'll be sitting when the evening comes
Watching the ships roll in
And I watch 'em roll away again

How Old is it?
Chris,
One of the principles for keeping soaps is protecting it from excessive heat and humidity.. Other than that, you should be abel to keep them almost indefinitely. Some soaps with highly oxidizable oils may suffer from oil souring. BUT, I wouldn't worry too much about that because most modern soaps have stabilizers for that (believe it or not antioxidants of a sort ).
