I open one 5-year old tin each year. So last year, I opened one of my 02s, this year was an 03, next year will be one of my 04s, etc. I've had pretty good luck that way; I also buy 4 tins per year, so I have plenty of almost every year in my cellar. I'm missing a few of the early years though (93, 95, 96).
