What cigars are you intentionally aging?
The only ones I have intentionally laid down to age are Anejos and some Opus X. I have smoked a couple of both that had 4 years on them and loved them, so i got some just for aging. I also have some CC's but I grab one when the time seems right, so I don't consider them off limits. I would be interested to hear what you are aging. Is it because you have smoked them aged before or do you just feel they will benefit?

I've got a handful of Opus, as well as pairs of a few random cigars like Torano Vault black, Oliva V, JDN Cuatro Cinco original release, and My Father Le Bijou. Mostly I have no experience with these aged, but I want to see how they do. I put them down in pairs so that I can smoke them with my dad or a friend and enjoy them with someone else.
My coolidor is now officially full with aging boxes. I've got a few Oliva V Melanio maduro boxes, two boxes of Anejos, one of My Father #4, a regular Serie V, some Serie V maduro limited releases, and MF Le Bijous. Plus probably some more I can't remember. I've had some of these aged and all were good, and hoping the other boxes work out.

The MF age well. Anything with the Garcia name on it does in my experience.

As many have said, Opus and CCs. I also think that a lot of maduros do great with a few years of age. They even out some and can produce some really rich and smooth flavors. I smoked all I had but the X000 series with a few years is awesome! Same with Fuente maduro churchills, Aroma De Cuba Mi Amor, 601 Blue, Kristoff Maduros, Sancho Panza Double Maduros, I'm sure I'm forgetting some.

I don't have a lot, but Opus X, My Father #1, Boli, Anejo Sharks and 46, Oliva Master Blend 3's, Oliva V...

So funny that almost everyone's list has Opus on it. I am one of the few people that prefer them fresh. I don't even have any Opus because I smoke them up instead of putting them away. Seems to me that when they age they just seem to lose the "ummph" that I so enjoy them for. Now the Anejo is a different story altogether. Love them with a few years down time.
