BamBam, the Escudo you posted is the one I usually buy.
McClellands Christmas Cheer is my favorite straight VA to age. One, cause it's a great tobacco; and two, cause nothing brings Christmas cheer like Chrustmas Cheer (meaning come December it's my go-to smoke) I've got a tin from '99 that I'm hoping will last 20 years till I open it.
Here's a link from GL Pease on aging tobaccos. He explains it better than I ever could.

Latakia's tend to mellow out as they age, but still taste like campfire bacon. Think of it as black beans served with bacon vs black beans cooked with bacon.
As a side note, I just opened a tin of six year old McClellands Classic Samsun, truly awesome the way the orientals blended with the VA's.
