Just got one box and looks great. Anyone have tried this?

I haven't tried any of the 09 EL's yet. I really look forward to trying these though, make sure you let us know how they smoke xavier!

You and Roberto have got to get together for a smoke.

Xavier,

In my opinion these are the best of the recent RE's. I have enjoyed the ones I've smoked and will be looking for more if I can find some room.

Had one a few weeks ago. Didn't agree with me at all. Bland, tasteless. An easy pass for me

i lied..i said a month ago that i would be passing on this years le's...well 3 boxes just arrived with 10 loose new trindad robusto's. the 48's look terrific and will try one with some friends after dinner.i tried one of the trinnys and thought it was too mild,generally i am not a fan of the brand and these did nothing to change...i gave the rest to my good friend who is hooked on cc...we also leaped into the boli...man they are strong and tasty..you really need to eat before smoking..with some age they will no doubt be great...i like strong smokes and they were ..i repeat strong....the dukes are really impressive looking..and will be sampled in the next day..

i have smoked the mag 48, the trini robusto t and the r&j dukes.

all have admirable qualities, although i am certain the most popular will be the trinidad robusto. it is closest to the profile of the marca and a vitola that will fly off the shelves.

cheers

Dukes are one of the best to come out in Years,

a future classic (in my opinion)

A friend of mine just got boxes of the Trini robusto and bolivar EL. Of course he gave me a couple. The Boli's look a little rough in the cap. The Trinidads have a much cleaner look to them. I've always been a fan of the pigtail caps. Both smell delightful and it takes quite an effort not to spark one up right away, but I think I am going to heed my friends advice and let them settle a little, before smoking them.

they are short and sweet smokable out of the box,i really enjoyed my first one on the beach...looking forward to my second one..in about an hour..

i think that it's hard to rate them just yet...i'm thinking that i will be buying a few more boxes ..and that a low 90 rating is appropriate..looking forward to seeing what experts view them.

Just ordered a second box...i tend to gravitate towards robusto's and these hit the spot.

Hi Guys,
I already smoked one for testing and I have to admit that was very surprised that such a young smoke taste so nice. Of course the flavors right now are not subtle but you can notice a very sweet taste and that "tangy" sensation. The aroma was very pleasent also. Probably as Michaels said I will buying at least another box since I predict a good result for aging with this small cigars.
Regards,

defintely a cigar that many of us will follow with a lot of interest for a long while.

cheers

had the H Upmann Mag 48; didn't find it appealing at all,in terms of the size and flavour profile; a definate pass for me;

Maybe the size could be an issue but the flavors promise to get better with age... good right now for sure great in 3 years.

Cigar Insider didn't give these new EL's a good rating. These are young so I think it's to be expected.

didnt have them in Abu Dhabi city yet. the LCDH ppl here are lazy.

I have a box of these on the way, can't wait to try one.
