Romeo y Julieta Duke EL 2009

[cigarros]

Got this box from Duty Free Ben Gurion airport (Israil). It's B10 box, 54 x 140, vitola de galera -Dukes (Robustos Extra). Date: august 2009, strenght: medium bodied 3\5.

Appearance: wrapper thin, maduro coloured, good looking cigar with a little bit veiny.

Construction: soft through all lenght, perfect.

Aroma: coffee, spicy, leather

Draw: excellent

Smoke: very complex aroma and flavour with long pleasant aftertasting. All types of coffee aroma (ground grains, hot espresso). Slightly leather and zoo aroma, spicy (cinnamon, vanilla, nutmeg). Chocolate and citrus, meat broth and dry fruits (plums, raisins). Steel colour ash kept ~ 2 cm (one inch), time of smoking ~ 70 min. Superb cigar from EL 2009 I've smoked. My best recommendation!

Nice review. Makes me want to get some.

I've heard that these are one of the best EL's out there right now.

Enjoy

Thanks for the review. I too have heard that the Dukes are the best of the 2009 ELs.

I like the Mag 48s, but the Dukes are great. Bit pricey mind, but hey.

If only RyJ would adopt this into their regular line, they'd have:

Churchill

Duke

Short Churchill

Cazadores

revamp the Belicoso and that has the line looking top drawer again. Ditch the rest in the line up.

I rather enjoy the Cedros Deluxe 2 and 3 as well.

I have a box as well, and DAMNED, they are the best EL's I have smoked in a few years (though I really liked the Monte Sublimes too).

My Cedros de Luxe never get any love...I think the 2 and 3 are great cigars.

The duke's are by far my favorite El this year. I feel as though they will age beautifully also. I can't wait for what 3 yrs time will do to these.
