My Favorite Cigar Aficionado Yet!!! - Page 3

JJG · 04-28-2009, 07:25 PM

I've got nothing against CA. It keeps me entertained and I always enjoy the interviews. I think the main complaint is that there's not really much cigar content for a magazine named 'Cigar Aficionado' That, and the fact that their cigar ratings are a total joke. I mean seriously laughable.

If you wanted a strictly cigar mag, CA is pretty disappointing. If you wanted a food, wine, golf, cigars and travel mag, then cigar aficionado is just fine.

Sorry to be blunt.. But who the &*^%* is JayZ?

I actually enjoy this magazine. I like looking at all the high priced stuff, especially the watches and cars and I do find most of the articles to be pretty good. The one place I was able to purchase it around my area no longer carries it and I have no idea why. How can they pull CA but keep a stupid magazine on interior decorating???

Let me guess the obvious. They likely sell a whole lot more magazines on interior decorating and their readers are likely asking why they carry a "stupid magazine" on cigars.

No, not what I said, or think. I said "comments" and that point would be hard to argue.

I have never laughed so many times while reading one thread. This is a great one!

I flipped through it at my local shop. This is the only issue I'd ever consider buying. I enjoyed it.

Agree!! As with anything you just have to take the ratings for what they are....opinions. Anyway, the lifestyle stuff in CA is always interesting as are most of their feature stories. And true they probably cater to that "high end" clientele but hell, if I could be one of those myself I probably would.

I like to sit down with CA every once and a while, but only because my supscription is free.

Otherwise I wouldn't bother with the magazine. But in the last two editions it has taken a slant towards more middle class adventures. Sign of the times I guess.

P.S. The first 5 people to PM me a name and shipping address, no PO Boxes, will get a free 1 year subscription.

I guess you cannot edit after a certain time. Well 3 left.
