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!!!

Still sounds like an interesting read.

I haven't met an IPA I've liked.

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.

We're not elitists, we're clique-y.

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.

No, not what I said, or think. I said "comments" and that point would be hard to argue.

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

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

Got mine yesterday and just started reading it!

Are their cigar ratings "Accurate" with mainstream smokers?

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