Re: Best Cigar Magazine
I recommend Cigar Magazine. CA is packed with unnecessary garbage in my opinion.

Re: Best Cigar Magazine
I like CA but I know a bunch do not. Right now, we get it at work so I don't have to subscribe myself but I have often thought that I would. Even though the reviews aren't always accurate or trustworthy (I've heard some accuse CA for giving good reviews to their advertisers) and it tends to be a bit elitist, I do find myself enjoying the articles, pictures and ratings. I don't have any experience with any of the other print magazines.

While CA has some good articles/interviews (like the one with CAO' Ozgener) it's not as dedicated as Cigar Magazine. If you have the budget for only one of the two then go with CM.

Also, you can browse through the 10 pages of cigar ratings that CA has at your local cigar shop while you wait for your card to run through

Re: Best Cigar Magazine
Cigar Magazine is JR shill. Search the forums, there has been much talk about it here.

European Cigar Cult Journal is probably the best on the market followed by Smoke Magazine. CA is a waste of time.

Very good point. I'll sometimes pick up a copy & head into the humi if the owner of my B&M isn't available.

I agree 110%!!!

CA Sucks, and Cigar is very tainted towards the cigars that JR Sells, although, every now and then there is a good article or two!

ECCJ is absolutely the very best out there, followed by Smoke! There is also another that is not mentioned very often, as it is only a few years old, but it's pretty well done, and that is "Cigar Press". www.cigarpress.com

I am a fairly new subscriber and I must say that I like it!

Re: Best Cigar Magazine
Well, thanks for all the information. I am not happy that most of the recommended mags are quarterly, with CA being 6 issues/year. I guess I may bite the bullet and subscribe to ALL the magazines recommended here!

That's the best way to go! I have subscriptions to all that are mentioned here with the exception of CA. My last issue of CA was received about eight months ago and I have not renewed. I kept telling myself for years that I was not going to renew it and I always did anyway. That is until this year.!

Re: Best Cigar Magazine
Another vote for ECCJ. I love the international aspect of the magazine, the reviews, pics and articles. I used to subscribe to CA, but I don’t anymore. I never really took their reviews and scoring that seriously, but I definitely think they are questionable. They do feature some nice high end toys every now and then.
