My Favorite Cigar Aficionado Yet!!!
 
Today I got the June 2009 CA Magazine!!!

What's not to love about this issue? From Jay-Z on the cover to the Choice Brews (miro brew) article, from the 90 score for the Cruzado Marelas to the Sierra Nevada Torpedo Extra IPA ranked as a top micro brew!!!

I can't wait to get reading this one!!!:tu

Normally I don't love this magazine... I usually just like it for the... um... articles!!!:D

Sierra Nevada as the top micro? Yikes. It is decent stuff but there are a lot better IPAs out there.

Still sounds like an interesting read.

I do look forward to see what was on the rest of the list.

I guess why I got excited is the fact that the magazine usually seems hoity-toity and I usually can't relate to anything but the cigars!!!

This time the bar has been lowered for the likes of guys like me, who appreciate the cheaper things in life!!!;)

Personally I found the article on craft beers to be superficial. It didn't go as in depth as it could have and I agree with the previous post that the Sierra Nevada is a good IPA but not the best that I've ever had.

I only read the magazine for the cigar related stories and information and the personality profiles. Other than that the publication seems to be for those who make more money in a day than I do in a year.

I believe when he was being interviewed he was smoking a Zino Platinum tubo, he also talked about Montecrisitos being his favorite cuban (or was it H. Upman - I have to re-read the article) and about Davidoffs really turning him onto cigars. He also mentioned that having a nice cigar is a like a gift to yourself.

All in all for a CA interview he talked more about cigars than the last couple I've read - Costner, the CA Mayor...

Zino Platinum and Montecristo as his favorite Cuban. He also talked about liking Davidoff's and Dunhills.

I enjoyed it myself. I really don't see why this particular magazine gets bashed so hard. I've read way more "elistist" comments on this board than in that magazine.

I like the current issues because I'm actually starting to have some of the cigars in the Conniseure's Corner (or whatever its called). This issue, the '98 Fundies. Last issue the Davi 3K's and 70's Dunhill Selection Monte No.4's.

+ or- 5 points. After the 5 or so bounus points are given if the maker takes out $15,000 in advertising with them.

I don't mean to stir the pot but I think the CA magazine you buy in the book stores is different (lower quality) than the one sent in the mail???:r

I'm with you, this is one issue of the magazine I might actually buy.

The reason I don't read the magazine anymore is because the last time I looked at an issue it took me past page 175 before there was a mention of cigars other then AD's. If I want the Robb Report I will buy that.

I purchased a copy of this edition as well.

My favorite was the guy who wrote in regarding CA Magazine reviewing resorts that were not cigar friendly. It made me smile and then laugh while reading it.

I like to smoke a nice Dunhill when I'm out wid my shorties sippin on some yack. :)

You think this is an elitist board? Try some audio/video forums. Those guys are nuts.

I like to read ca, they do cater to the "high end" crowd, not really my thing but they also support the cigar industry. Yes, they are also in it to make money, but what the heck...isn't everyone?

Will pick up a copy the next time I'm in the bookstore. :)

JJG 04-28-2009 06:25 PM
Re: My Favorite Cigar Aficionado Yet!!!
 
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. :2

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.
