And the #1 cigar on Cigar Aficionado 2011 list... - Page 3

I don't get what the big deal is. The mag is for wealthy, uninformed novice smokers so why would we really care? I understand why cigar makers care but no the seasoned smoker who belongs to internet cigar boards.

I will give them credit where credit is due. They have about 3-4 good articles in a year and they are mostly about Cuba.

There might be a couple idiots (like me) or novices here. (I can't speak to the wealthy part)

I enjoyed the Havana issue quite a bit. I read it and think of the trade winds, a Partagas, a Mojito, and a sandy beach when I close my eyes. Or some Cuban music, awesome food, and a few sexy Cuban gals dancing.

But that's just me.

Someone needs to start a mag that is by smokers, for smokers. None of the "15 pages of **** nobody can afford", just smokes. Unfortunately, CI doesn't give proper reviews in my opinion either.

Maybe one day....

Their reviews still leave something to be desired. In the issue I have they rated the Cain Daytona a 96 or so. Completely absurd.

That is absurd, that cigar is at least a 98.

Well, something to be desired or just different taste?

I hear you, though. They

all over the Torano Master. I tried one yesterday and it performed well and didn't offend, but did little for me, flavor-wise. They talked up its 'complexity' something fierce, but I found it pretty monochromatic.

I do love me some AB's!!! But number one is a bit of a strech.

Only one of the top 25 had a release date in 2011...... WTF?

E.J. · 01-12-2012, 09:01 AM

I'm home sick, so have too much time on my hands....

These threads always give me a smile. People all up in arms about what CA does, their ratings, lists, content....as if it is something different than the year before...or before that....

CA is what it is....nothing more or less. I subscribe, the recent issue about Cuba was worth the subscription price alone. I look forward to each issue, there is always something in there that is worth what I pay...usually the interviews.

Now that the CA top 20 is out, now I have to wait for the next Tatuaje exclusive to see all this again.....

For your rerun viewing pleasure, I bring you the 2010 and 2009 CA Top 20's.....

Truth is, I like Cigar Aficionado. I pretty much like all the cigar magazines that are published, primarily due to the fact that there are so few out there that support our hobby. I like keeping up on our world of cigars with news that goes beyond what is said on the internet forums.
Like what you read, read what you like.
