Cigar Magazine Comparisons

I just collaborated with Colin Ganley of CigarResearch.com to write up an article that compares Cigar Magazines.

This article is not going to tell you which magazine is the best, because there ain't no such animal for every person. The magazine that is best for you will be related to your likes, dislikes, interests, etc. In other words, its subjective.

However, we compared 9 popular cigar magazines one purely objective considerations: shelf price, subscription price, total pages, percent cigar-related pages, number of reviews, words per review, and cigar-related articles. We also make note of the kind of coverage each magazine has: Habanos coverage, non-Cuban coverage, etc.

People are finding this an interesting read and I've been getting a lot of feedback so I thought I would share it with you. Let me know your thoughts. You look at the data and you be the judge.

Here's the link: Cigar Magazine Comparisons

Enjoy!

Doc

Interesting info. I always wondered how little cigar coverage CA actually had.

Colin is full of great ideas. It was his idea for the Cigar magazine comparison study. He wrote the article and I was basically just an editor and I put together the charts and graphs. Be sure to check out his site periodically: cigarresearch.com

Great article! That will come in handy in helping to narrow down the selection.

Thanks for the feedback everyone. It was a pleasure to work with David on this project.

Was anyone surprised by any of the results?

I know that doing this research made me add one subscription to my rotation.

Best,
Colin

Great work guys! It's great to see things broken down into facts and ignore the emotion. I too will be adding one magazine to my monthly subscription list.
