I don't know. Many english blends I've sat on for five or more years seem to be flatter or unimproved after a rest. Penzance seems to taste pale after several years in the tin; 965 seems the same; don't know what Sobranie tasted like new but 20-years later it kills!

Conventional wisdom says VA has improvement worth waiting for but latakia is a bad long term bet.

Expertise sought. What's your spin?
