Taking it as given that "good/better" is subjective and therefore aging doesn't make everything universally "better" just "different," which blends do you prefer fresh out of the tin upon purchase vs. aged. I'm not talking about blends that go over the hill due to fading latakia, etc. but which tobaccos would you actually rather smoke young?

Maybe Cairo? Maybe. In my opinion, most, not all benefit to my tastes from age, even ancient English blends. Latakia doesn't fade to me, mellows, melds and softens.
