Cigar Clan Magazine

[itsme_timd]

I did a search and saw a few brief mentions of it... does anyone here read it?

They had ads all over at IPCPR mentioning how they were the most read cigar magazine in the world - they claimed to have over a billion readers in English. Looks like their English website hasn't been updated since at least 2008 and I don't see anywhere to subscribe. I've never even seen the magazine anywhere.

Never heard of it Tim, where did you dig this up from?

OK, slight tweak... they said OVER A BILLION (no 's' on it) read the magazine in English, 270 million in Russian and 120 million in German! That's a lot of readers, I'd think there has to be some creative counting going on there.

They had an insert in the IPCPR exhibitor directory as well as a booth at the show.

270 million in Russin

according to google, the entire population of Russia is only 141 million...I'm calling bullshit on pretty much all their readership claims

LOL. That's pretty impressive. That means every man, woman and child in Russia reads each issue TWICE!

They were counting fingers and toes too! :stretchgr

Never heard of it, but if they're bloating their reader numbers like that I gotta wonder about what kinds of liberties they take with other information presented in their magazine.

I tend to avoid anything with "clan" in the title.
