At least they are whole spices. It will depend somewhat on what the
spices are. Even whole, some spices last longer than others. This
may have been answered while I was off at Pennsic, but just in case
it hasn't, some of the estimates on how long various spices will
last, from previous discussions, can be found in this file:

Although less important than with powdered spices, it also matters
how the spices are packaged and stored. That too, is covered in this
file.
