Well,I think that there is no limit to as long you can keep a properly dry cured ham as long as it's been properly done. I am still nibbeling on the shank of a ham that I bought over two years ago, and the ham must have been at least a year and a half old wnen I bought it. It was a spanish ham, not a pata negra but a good quality ham. I just bought another one to keep up the good work and I am shure its going to last me a long time. Bon appetit.

Does smoked ham need to be soaked before cooking?
I would suspect not. The only reason I can think of that you would need to salt a ham before cooking and eating it is if it is salt cured. (You soak it in plain water so that the process of osmosis will draw the excess salt from the salt cure process out of the ham and into the water.) If a ham is smoke cured, I can't see why it would have been salt cured as well. You could always take a quick small taste of the meat to make sure the salt content is not excessive, but I cannot imagine that it would be.
