Lets be realistic here magazines are about selling ad space pure and simple. Have you ever read a bad review of any cigar in CA or that the car they just tested wasn't worth the $100K? Crap look at all the ads of for overpriced stuff that you don't really need are festooned for all to gawk at. They even have an ad for Macanudos which are some first class dog rockets, but if you look at the ad would make you run out and buy a box.
Now is the magazine itself a help or a hindrance? I would say only people that smoke cigars read or buy it. I've never seen anyone who doesn't smoke cigars have a subscription for it. I've never seen it a barber shop, or Drs.office (I’ve seen their Wine Mag at my dentist office).
Preembargo pegged it: “Whatever image CA presents, it's presented to its readers. The majority of the population has no idea what is inside the cover.”
