Tobaccos that need aging
Based on what Mike said in the other thread and my extremely limited experience so far, these need to be aged as I don't think they're ready right out of the tin. I will add to the list as I discover more.

Most Virginia and Virginia blends age well. This includes Virginias, Virginia/Perique, Virginia/Burly, Virginia/Latakia. English and Balkan blends do not change much when aged, but they don't go bad either. Tinned tobaccos in this class can be aged in their sealed tins indefinitely. I have smoked tobacco from 20 year old tins that were fabulous. I have seen tins as old as 30 years old where the tobacco was in good condition.
Heavily cased aeromatics do not age well at all. The casings go bad leading to terrible flavors. Aeromatics need to be smoked fresh.

Good YouTube video on smoking a 20 year old tin of tobacco.

OK I think I figured out the problem. Not necessarily fresh Vs. Aged, it's Va heavy blends that do something to my palette. Just can't enjoy them.

Me, I have completely lost my lust for Latakia. I now smoke almost nothing but Virginias, VA/Pers and Bur/VA/Pers. I need to start selling/trading the Lat blends in my cellar.
