Yep, agree Vs and VaPers, also English and Balkan blends work
best for aging where as Aros will only lose their flavoring over time.
Just some blend examples;
SG blends ; FVF, Bracken, 1792, St James, Navy, etc
Solani Silver Flake and Aged Burley Flake
Penzance
MC blends; X-mas cheer, holiday cheer; Tudor Castle, Blackwoods,
St James Woods
Peretti's Royal and Omega blends, London flake
And I could go on and on and on

Anything VA/VAPER, or really anything with virginia should improve with age for up to 20-25 years.
Thanks all!
Very informative!!
I think herbinedave has a good point. The tobacco should be one that you like fresh, and that you imagine will get better over time.
I have tried FVF and BBF as well as Dunhill Flake fresh, and I will give some of those a go.
Also I just opened a tin on Dunhill Night Cap this evening. This stuff is probably the best smoke I have had so far smoking the pipe!!! It's really amazing.
Does anyone have hands on experience with aging Dunhill Night Cap?

Man o man...I can't seem to let a tin sit for more than a year or so. I do have some Samuel Gawith Best Brown waiting for me for about a year and half now, as well as a couple tins each of Dunhill EMP, 965, and Nightcap...The Nightcap is going on three years old and I swear that one winks at me every time I look at it!
I have a nine year old tin of Nightcap and two ten year old tins of Penzance that I get tempted to open, and some day I will. Nightcap seems to mellow only slightly over time. I suppose the Penzance will, too, but I don't know that first hand.... yet.
There are a few baccys I would consider aging and BLUE NOTE is now one of those! What a wonderful baccy to have around and smoke daily. It is robust with my kind of flavor. Being a fan of aromatics and smooth taste I have to say that this is excellent along with a bit of Anniversary Cake (Home and Hearth). I would stash both away for the long haul and IMHO think it would gain some insightful flavor as time passes.
