It's not what is once was, but it's still worth reading. The subscription price is a really good deal compared to the cover price. If you frequent a cigar lounge you can always just read it you're there.

It was a huge thrill to sit down in Sautter's in London on the day the Ernie Els issue hit the street last October and see the shop I work at in California listed in the Lotus/Black Label lighter ad as I was puffing away on a Dip #2

I saw the editor's post about Rob earlier today, disgusting; don't want anything to do with a place that employs someone like that. Utter lack of class, knowledge and decency.

It was a disgrace. I can't believe somebody in his position did something like that.

Having the platform he has, and the place he decided to make such comments makes me wonder how this man is an associate editor.

And I thought British journalism was in the toilet?

That publication will never see another penny from me, I'm going to spend the money buying cigars from Rob.

I have always said a forums culture is a reflection of its leadership. CA is a case in point.

As always it is best to let it ride, don't engage and move on. Dueling swords with a half wit only makes you the other half. lol3.gif

Don't bring their trash here.

I haven't seen it yet. I'm curious to know what was said, and who said it.

I had a feeling my own post may have been a bit off the cuff but it's the way I feel.

I have no intention of bringing their shortfalls over here and I apologise if it's been interpreted that way.

Sorry gents.

If they bashed Rob, i have no idea what happened but hey, we have a tight community here. I for one have stopped buying the issues some time ago and now have no intention of touching the magazine, or even vewing their website...although I dont anyways lol

Pretty sure it was a comment made by one of the editors on their Forum

I havent purchased CA for a number of years, It hard to get in the top end

Ifound some of the feautres to be quite good very good over the years but have found lately its more about wealth than cigars.

Maybe they should change the title of the mag to

"Stuff rich guys need"

Hey, all I know is that RA has gone the extra mile for me - the glistening Cohiba Salomóns he sends me, packed in those gorgeous glass topped mini humidors are nothing short of spectacular to look at! Sure, this all costs a little extra, but can you really put a price on that kind of personal attention?

I like some of the things in their issues, like he latest one on whiskey and I actually found the stanly tucci article interesting, but it is definitely a magazine that does go after the rich, or super rich IMO. Ads for $10'000 watches and the like. Everything they review in the way of clothes and accessories Are all ridiculously expensive items stuffed with in your face and annoying ads for NCs.

I will admit, some of the guys over there are very good BOTL and have really helped me along the way in this lovely hobby we all enjoy.
