I've had multiple issues of Cigar Aficionado, Smoke, ECCJ and Cigar Magazine.

My favorite of them all is Cigar Magazine.

Dr. Stogie Fresh did a Cigar Magazine Comparisons that you might find useful. Check out the PDF chart in his article as well.

Cigar Magazine is, I agree, a very good magazine. The only reason many of us do not rate it very high, is that it does not ever review any Cuban Cigars, it only reviews NC's and in addition it only reviews the NC's that are carried by or available through JR Cigars.

I could see that. I've always thought that most (if not all) magazine ratings are a little skewed. It's my least favorite part the magazine. I usually skip right over them and head towards the articles and news sections.

That's right ..... I read it for "the articles".

Need to find a great PIPE magazine.

Cigar magazine is my favorite. I especially like the "Faces of..." reviews.

This seems to be the mag everyone raves about. I'm curious but haven't picked one up yet. CA is not a bad publication either but it gets criticized quite a bit for being light on actual cigar content, and I've said this before but their reviews/ratings are complete bullsh*t

With the way news travels on the Internet, the cigar magazines often have old news.
I've got every issue of Cigar Aficionado and enjoy reading the old issues. The criticism that there are not enough cigar stuff is true. The articles are retreaded every five years or so. Handmade shoes, timeshare jets, custom suits, etc. show up every so often. This is a good time of year to subscribe, they have a two for one Father's Day special. Split it with a buddy and it will only cost you $10 a year.

Smoke magazine IMHO is the worst for ratings. I probably visit 50 or 60 cigar stores a year, maybe more, and I've never seen some of the dog rockets they review in the mag. Funny though that these stinkers are all full page advertisers. They do some good pieces on the cigar makers.

Cigar Magazine has some great articles about the legends in the business.
It's probably my favorite, although the ratings are useless. I love the historical stuff.

The best way to get cigar news is from cigarcyclopedia.com, Rich Perelman's site. Every day or two it's updated with the latest news. The comparison price list is way cool.

Smoke Shop mag, available online, is a publication for tobacconists has some good stuff.

ECCJ is really a great magazine. The fact that it is quarterly is a bummer.
That wait to get it seems like forever.
