Yup, totally agree. I’ve been lucky enough to try a few older smokes that were GREAT but when I smoked newer versions of the same cigars, they just weren’t the same. But, I almost always shrugged it off because of the difference in age; however, as my newer cigars got to be the same age (…in terms of rest time…), they didn’t replicate the same taste and flavors as the much older ones. I won’t say I was disappointed but like you said, maybe it would have been better if I never knew how great they used to be.
