What I have found to be true in which tobaccos age best, is based upon sugar content in tobacco. Or, maybe there is something else going on there and it just appears this is true. Whatever, here are some rules of thumb.

Burleys show little to no improvement with age, for there isn't much sugar in them.
Orientals are much the same.
Virginias have exhibited stellar results in aging, for they have a very high sugar content.
English blends, depending on the amount of Virginia in the blend, will age well accordingly.

Peace of the Lord be with you.
