Cigar Aficionado

[derekmckee]

I voted yes because it states 12 issues for a year at 19.95. That is 6 more that what you get a year since it only comes out every two months. I have a subscription, and enjoy reading it. I understand a lot of smokers online dont like it, but I have always been different.

Yea, Randy corrected me, it is for 6 issues.

It was a great mag when it was about cigars...if I wanted to read GQ or Esquire I'd subscribe to them...that's what CA has turned into...just another GQ/Esquire wannabe...

No -but I find Cigar magazine much more cigar centered with many more interesting articles about the industry etc...

Way Way to upper class for me. I don't care for the adds, I couldn't begin to afford 3/4 of the stuff adverised in there anyways. To yuppy and stuffy for me

Magazine has definately gone down hill.

For $19.95 I get my subscription and a free one for my dad. So at that price I guess its OK.

 

[caudio51]

I actually got a free subscription, I browse through it

I voted no

I've never had a subscription, but based on what I read here, I'd rather have one 20 dollar cigar (or maybe 2 ten dollar sticks) than 6 issues of CA

I voted no.

There are some decent articles in the mag, but there is simply too much free information on the internet to pay 20 bucks for a magazine that is 70% advertisements.

I must be the minority. I thoroughly enjoy this magazine. Sure the cigar ratings are mostly fantasy but they do introduce new stuff. I enjoy reading about the high end stuff. I thought the interview with Tommy Franks in 03 was fantastic. Its all fun.

Chuck that was 3 years ago :rofl:

 

[CWS]

Yeah. I know but I keep them and re-read.

 

[cvm4]

Ahhhhhhh

 

[CWS]

Everyone was giving it such a bad rap I had to chime in. Yes its uppity. Yes the reviews are skewed. But I love reading about the growers and the high end stuff.

 

[caudio51]

It is nice to read about that stuff...just not applicable to anything I will be buying

I'm with Chuck, on this one I get CA, CM and a few others ALL of them have a different view, and that is what was looking for when I went to reading them.......

 

[jrohrer]

I agree...I roigionally voted no, but I got a script for x-mas, and got the first one the other day.

I must say...I think Chuck's right on, I'll probably never be able to afford half the stuff in it, but it's a pretty interesting read!
