You are not the only one tjhat is disappointed with the JC line since they switched their recipe. Their Red Oak line has also left many flat. I like the JC Original Tobacco which most hate.
WRT vendor liquids, most as you say are made to order, so you know it is fresh. I also order ahead of time because most liquids need a couple of weeks to mature so to speak. Regardless, I date all the liquids as received and will use them up within 18 months. A 6 month buffer zone is more than sufficient I believe. On the other hand some cannot do this. I canot remember which large vendor provided photos of their storage room. Nice and classy, neat etc... The bins only contained the name of the liquid and strength, and I know back then this vendor's juice did not ahve a mfr date or expiry date on their liquids.
