Does any particular cut (navy, flake, cake, rolled...) age better then another?

Just the process of making a flake changes the charcter of the tobacco. Adding heat and pressure sort of "cooks" the tobacco and I believe this effect is something like what aging does. Forces the tobacco's to get along with eachother and the oils intermingle and all of that stuff.
I think the type of tobacco, more than the cut, will determine how it ages. The oldest tobacco I have is only a few years old so I am not an expert on aging stuff yet, lol!
