I voted no... I subscribed less than a year ago and its an alright magazine, but like most big magazines its full of advertisements and it seems I never get my money worth... but thats just me

When I first started smoking cigars several years ago I would pick it up every month, but I quickly tired of it. I cannot imagine subscribing to it...just not worth the money.

My free subscription is gonna run out and I am not paying for that magazine. If I find another free subscription online somewhere I'll sign up but its not worth paying them to read a ton of ads for crap I probably wont buy.

Yes
No
There are only 6 issues a year, its a bi-monthly mag

but to answer: yes and no. i wouldn't pay that much for a year, i get the 2 or 3 year deals, and sometimes it has paid off (free cigar coupons every now and then, and an article on cigar factories in NYC that was very helpful)

I paid for the subscription last year and came with like a 10 pack of sticks for $24.95. I would not buy the magazine again, but may read or Cigar Magazine in the stores if I have time.

I got something in the mail from them today.
Gonna open it tomorrow.
I got a subscription to it one year for Father's day from the family. Still have all the old issues.
Including the one with the review of a cigar I cant recall what it was but it was "smacking of meat and mushrooms":headroll: :headroll: :headroll: :headroll:

Nope. It has an interesting article or two. What turned me off is when I realized there is actually a cigar section in the magazine.

Shit it's bi-monthly! F-that!

Along with all of you...if it is on the coffee table I'll browse through.

What's the European cigar magazine called? I can find it at Barnes & Noble sometimes....

Tom, got the same offer...it says for 12 issues, for $19.95...that is for 2 years, and for that price I'll take it...not a good cigar mag, but it has some nice articles from time to time

Ah, I just glanced at it. I guess 10 bucks a year ain't bad. Gives me something for the shitter.
