Do You Subscribe to a Cigar Magazine?

[ironpeddler]

I was just curious what you guys are doing out there and why...especially because all you hear these days is "Print is Dead"  :laugh:

 

[BlindedByScience]

A good friend of mine hooked me up with Cigar Aficionado.  I look forward to reading it every month....

 

[llwydtp]

I subscribe to CA also but only did so due to it being free after completing a survey. I'm around 50/50 on whether I would renew at this point.

I subscribe to multiple cigar publications.  Cigar Aficianado, Cigar Insider, Cigar Snob and Cigar Journal.  I don't have the time to read them all cover to cover, but I try and find time to read the articles that interest me.  
 
I know we are in the digital age, but when it comes to my reading material, I prefer ink and paper to digital.  That goes for books, magazines, newsletters and even newspapers.  Just my personal preference.

I also subscribe to CA. I enjoy reading some of the articles and looking at their ratings

Where's the simple (No) option?

 

[Bu11dog]

I just renewed to Cigar Aficionado.  I have learned how to read the reviews about the cigars to determine if I would like the cigar or should try it.  I do like all the pieces on stuff I could never afford.

Where's the simple (No) option?

 
The bottom one.

Hell no! I don't subscribe to anything that promotes tasting chocolate in cigars. I particularly hate CA, which was responsible for the cigar boom and led to some very unpleasant times for real cigar smokers as opposed to noobs who wanted to look cool. There's a reason why I hate those fuggers.

I subscribe to CA, but I know what I'm getting, and what I'm not getting.  It is what it is, and the $20ish fee per year is fine for me.
 
I would like to give Cigar Journal a shot though.

 

[MadMonk]

I haven't renewed my subs to CA, Smoke, ECCJ, etc this past year, so far. 
It is one of the few ways I can sort of keep up with the cigars.
 
I depended on this forum for a while, but there are just far too many Grape and Pineapple White Owl smokers. It gets excessive.
Since I am not a fan of those, I have been forced to look elsewhere.

I don't even read the free shit, it's all the same recycled garbage year after year.

Cigar snob and CA....great reading material for the crapper.

Subscribe to CA. Gives me something to do from time to time that isn't on a PC. Love bringing it on vacation with me to read.

I think Rush Limbaugh did much to ruin smoking for pre-Rush smokers.  I don't remember the percentages, but the price increases were horrible for the period of time he promoted cigars heavily.

 

[CigSid]

My wife bought me a subscription to CA, but honestly, I just skim though it to read about the ISOM stuff, which usually takes me about 1 to 2 minutes...

 

[Mizicke5273]

I've subscribed to Cigar Snob and Cigar Press for a couple o years now.  I enjoy reading both mags.

 

[CBoukal]

Seconded for Thor's cigar press

 

[Kid Montana]

Cigar Press Magazine is a quarterly that I've come to really enjoy. Thats my *other* vote.

 

[tone-ny]

I don't subscribe but will buy one on a rare occasion. CA is for uber rich folks that buy $125,000 watches and have membership at an exclusive club.Sorry Tom I outed you!
