My Favorite Cigar Aficionado Yet!!!

Skywalker · 04-27-2009, 06:53 PM

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!!!

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

I got mine over a week ago....
I really enjoyed the Jay-Z article.

When I think cigars, I think "Jay-Z".

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!!!

Word son, word.

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...
