bunburyist Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

josie67 Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 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). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiLo Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
