For laying down with what's currently available? Haven't bought Habanas in about 6 years so with what's currently out, what's worth picking up for some aging? Was thinking up Upman Mag 50s, PSD4's, CoRos. Any flying under the radar? G1

JL1s, Party Shorts, Coh Sig IIs, Trini Colonials, Psd4s, H Upmann 2s and most of VR stuff seems to be good.

I second the SD4s and Upmann 2s. The recent production (2010-2011) PSD4s has seemed quite consistent..and I've smoked from several boxes. The Upmann 2s are the best 2 being made currently IMO.

But if you can find a 50 cab of 08 Mag 46, that might be an even better place to start. A 50 cab of RASS wouldn't suck either..

Most definitely agree with this. There were still a few available ~ the first of the month.

PSD4's are always great to lay down or smoke ROTT. Some of the stuff I've been going after is the following.

QdO Coronas and Imperiales: It's only a matter of time until Habanos decides to axe what's left of this marca. Seriously under appreciated cigars IMO. They are the sole survivors from the Cuban Davidoff and Dunhill debut year. The blend has not changed since then.
Trinidad Robusto T's and Extra's: Some great cigars, also discontinued.
H Upmann Magnum 50's.: One of my all time faves. I've stopped smoking my 2009's and have put them aside to age further. I'll dip into newer stock.
Cohiba Siglo VI: Recently picked up some 2004's to age. I have some 2009/10's I will dip into now and then. Will probably pick up a 25 Cab to set aside as well. I find that these cigars tend to perform better if aged.
Bolivar Gold Medals: Discontinued but still plenty around. Simply fantastic smokes that are priced right. Savoury, earthy flavours with a bit of tobacco kick. A classic.
El Rey Del Mundo Choix Supremes: A cigar that evokes the flavours of toasted marshmallows. Count me in. :hearteyes Picked up a few recent boxes and a box from 2006.
Ramon Allones Celestiales Finos: A 2009 Asia Pacific release that just rocks. Beautifully crafted vitola with a serious punch to the stomach while delivering lots of flavour. Serious long term aging potential. I sample them every six months. They just get better every time.
Romeo Y Julieta Cazadores: Another under appreciated cigar. While the overall brand continues to suffer, this cigar is a standout. Rich cherry wood and steamed fruit flavours alongside a nice strong tobacco kick make these long term aging candidates.
