I cannot disagree with your disagreement but I did say english blends "tend" not to show great improvement, not that they do never improve. (I've enjoyed Sobranie and some Barry Levin stuff that was spectacular after 10-20 years in the can I've seem more latakia appear to hold, or lose, ground in my short viewing span of five-eight years.)
