Does aging tobacco then rolling the cigars as padron does differ from rolling tobacco and aging the cigar?

I guess my question is... If I age some 3000's for 3 years will it taste like a 26ann?

I have heard the 000's age very well but the ann do not as they are already aged. The question is how well do the 000's age...

They are not the same blend.
The Padron Series (Thousand series) is one blend, '64 Anniversary is another, Serie 1926 is another. Even the Reserve '45 is almost the same blend of the 64 anniversary series with "a little bit changed" according to Cigar Aficionado.
