Cigars in the Press...

[cj121]

I've said it before...so I'll say it again - CA used to be almost worth the price when James Suckling had a featured article, Our Man in Havana." That and the cigar reviews. Now, the cigar reviews are about the only reason I look at it.
Perro, el Perro

My December edition arrived today and cigar reviews aside, I do find it helpful to check in whether my boat remains en vogue from season to season [emoji6]

There are some really good cigar articles on the How to Spend It section of the Financial Times. Most written by Nick Foulkes. There is a free app you can download or think you can probably find it online, once there look under the Fine Living section. Really good stuff.

Agreed, Nick's been fighting the good fight for years.

Bah Humbug!

You do know I hope that was completely invented by an American advertising man, it's believed to be inspired by the women who sorted the leaves and held them on their thighs as they did so. Women did this job because their colour perception is better than men's.

You Bastard!!! NEXT, you'll be telling us there's no Santa Claus!

I would buy a good cigar & lifestyle periodical. Those ones cgars ship gratis with orders are just ads and society pictorials. I am not interested in that: If I could make a suggestion, the myth of the finest Havana puros being lovingly rolled on the firm, tanned inner thighs of beautiful young virgins is definitely worthy of a serious piece of investigative journalism & THOSE photos are ones worthy of the print Just a thought Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

All Things Must Pass....

Your local newsagent would get it if you wanted it My local took a month or so, and it's never out as the same time as the US, but I get mine this way. Mind you, it's not all that tbh.

There used to be another mag, Cigar Magazine, which was almost all cigar articles, including one by your own Simon Chase, that was great, so naturally, it was discontinued.

I agree, the FT articles are excellent.

In fact, can anybody recommend any good blogs/websites?

Thanks for all the comments so far, interesting stuff. I personally find CJ more in line with UK cigar smokers as it's just about cigars and not golf, gambling, private jets or anything else.

Is there anything to read about cigars in the UK? I can't find anywhere that even stocks Cigar Afficianado

I'm with Sean, the forum and net give me what I need. Magazines fill a niche for me in relation to Cycling, Fishing and HiFi.

Beyond that, things like National Geographic, Life, New Scientist and Regional County Magazines hold an occasional interest, I hate to say it but a publication solely dedicated to Cigars would probably bore me pretty quickly.

I'm a Cigar Journal subber, my only printed reading matter for cigars.
