It expired on August 6, 2008 because the main label mentions flavors plural and the neck label refers to flavor singular. So TTB gave them four months to fix it and re-apply. Alan do you find a new one dated after August 6? We don't. But if they brought in a lot of cases before August 6, they would be in good shape until they need to import more.

Or maybe down to 30, since the TTB approval for Libertine seems to have expired. What does that mean?

Stromu has never been a highly regarded product. Just a note on the St. Antoine: I had the chance to try the original batch. It was flawed, but showed huge promise. From my discussions with the producers, the flaws have been fixed. I'm excited to see it come to the states. It presents an opportunity to create a revolution in the Czech absinth scene by demonstrating that a truly enjoyable product can indeed come out of that region.

I try to keep a more up-to-date list of absinthe approvals here: http://realabsinthe.blogspot.com/2008/07/list-of-absinthes-approved-for-us.html and I currently make it 29 approved and about 12 in process.
