Cigar Aficionado

[ciggy]

Not in my opinion.

 

[Poohdvm]

I voted no. I have all the issues of "Cigar afficionado" until they went to "cigar Afficionado". Once they changed the name and put the bulk of the cigar content in the back I never got another subscription. They became more of a life style magizine. I don't see myself buying an island or a hellicopter anytime soon.

The other thread asking if I read or liked it I said no, but for $1.50 or so an issue I would then get that much out of it. so I voted yes!

It's only 6 issues a year, so about $3.33 an issue.

Hahahhaahah....I was just reading an old issue, October of 2002. Read the worst rated cigar, "soggy cardboard flavor smacking of mushrooms." :rofl:

It's like Deja Vu all over again...just like last weeks post.

October 2002

4 year old thread.

:rofl:

Couldn't help laughing at that myself, J.

CA still plays by their original plan...pay more for advertising, get better ratings...

When I go to a cigar parlor and thumb through the magazines, I find other cigar publications to be more interesting reading than Cigar Aficianado.

Much of the magazine is about the lifestyles of rich and famous people who smoke cigars. It finally hit me that Cigar Afficianado is like Playboy and Cosmopolitan Magazines. By this I mean that there is a sense in which CA isn't really about cigars and Playboy isn't really about naked women: all three magazines are about selling the reader a certain self-image of sophistication, whether it be the sophisticated cigar smoker, the sophisticated ladies' man, or the sophisticated modern woman. Cosmo is the most honest of the three in terms of being upfront about it.

(Caveat: I haven't read Playboy in ages. My comments are based on what the magazine was like back in, oh, the 70's and 80's.)

Nope. Much better newer mags out there.

I had a subscription but I just got my last issue in the mail. I dont think I'll renew. Just gunna bum it and read the shops copys

 

[cmhicksusmc]

Nah anything you need to know is right here at Casa BOTL!!!

All ads as well!:cbig:

 

[orangedog]

No. I mean HELL no.

You buy and smoke cigars, you don't subscribe to periodicals about them. But do feel free to read your fishing, hunting, hotrods, and men's magazines while enjoying a good smoke. I'll allow them. :wink:

Have you read a copy of CA? It isn't a periodical about cigars...

If I could get it for $20 a year, I'd jump all over it. Thats only $2 an issue. I think it retails here for $7-8. Nice to have lay around the office.

 

[JNT]

Curiosity made me go check. Its $38 for 6 issues to Canada. Not worth it.

 

[thebayratt]

Maybe worth $1.95 a year.

I got a year subscription as a gift 2009 Christmas and it was for a year.... I've gotten 3 issues more than was paid for.... I won't buy it again. Too much BS that I could never afford or smoke.
I just got a subscription to Cigarsnob. A WAY better mag IMO.

 

[Thecatch83]

Everything in the magazine is also on their website......for free! If I see it at the mini mart on base I will buy it from time to time.....it's a great coffee table read!
