One thing I would do is take about 10 of those, split 'em, scrape 'em, and place everything in a one-pint mason jar topped with brandy/whisky/or vodka and make some vanilla. You can continue to add used beans and top it up from time to time.
I ordered a ton of vanilla from Beanzilla a few years ago, but they went moldy on me. They weren't as dry as the one's I'd normally bought. My own fault, really: I should've dried or frozen them or something.
Anyway, Beanzilla's prices have skyrocketed. I will look into Samba Vanilla.
