From what I've learned,some personal observations some from other forums.......
Virginia's gain the most from aging and will bloom(sugars coming to the surface)just like well aged cigars.
Burley.......some say it improves but almost all seem to agree that it isn't significant enough to bother.
Latakia is said to lose its smoky quality..........Here I wouldn't really know,I like so few lat blends.
Perique is said to lose some of its peppery goodness..........which can be a good thing in some over periqued blends.
Aro's,again I don't smoke any true aro's ,are said to go stale or at least lose most of that strong topping smell which IMHO might be a good thing.
