Hello everybody.
Has anybody tried yet the new EL2009 Magnum 48 or RyJ Duke? Your comments please.

Had the Duke and liked it a lot...not great...but a good solid cigar...love the format...other two dont interest me too much

Use the search Duke, I mean Yaz and you will see we are all raving about these EL's.

The Dukes are phenomenal , I have 3 boxes and have tried one from each box. Amazing smoke, 93 and will get better with aging, as the profile is a bit harsh at the finish.

Thank you, Steve and mbflash.
Anything on Magnum 48? I did not find anything using search.

Tried the Duke and loved it. Great constuction and love the largr ring gage. Just put in an order for the magnums. Hope I won't be disapointed.

Just type in "Mag 48" in the Find field:
1) http://forums.cigaraficionado....=938109656#938109656

The R&J Duke is excatly what you would expect in a R&J EL at that rg, they are rich, with dark wrappers and mod-firm construction.

The Mag 48 is a total surprise and I'm not sure folks will come to agreement over it. It is a small cigar, and quite a departure from the Mag 46 & Mag 50. It has some bold tastes, that belie it's general size, but it begs the question, "where did this come from?"

I love the both of them but the Duke IMHO is the better of the two!

1. Mag 48
2. Duke
3. Boli

I bought a box of Mag 48, will hold off on the other two for now

I had the 48 and thought it a very nice cigar so fresh out of the box. I think all these El;s need at least 1yr to settle in and some need at least 2. so won't be wasting to many more .
next up is the Duke

i think the mag 46 and the duke will be great...need to try a few more boli's before i commit...the dukes are really cheap...like 11 a stick....i mean that is ridiculous for a big le....if your into the whole aging thing..it is a no brainer...w

I got a sampler of the ELs and I gotta say the Dukes look the best. The foot on my Mag 48 looks like its been cut a little crooked... I remember JS saying in a video he found the same with his RE Bolivar shorts. Anyone else find that's the case?

But if I was to invest, definately the Dukes, not too expensive either IMO..

I have gotten cigars cut a little off. I don't think it means anything.

ive tied both bolivar and RyJ and guess what they are both just great out of the box. yes they need few monthes and no more then a year and the are going to be greater
