The book is over sized, the pictures are bold, glossy, and full of beauty. I have known the covers of the magazine to be adorned with strong, rich, intelligent, funny, worldly men which are all quality's that I find very sexy. For me cigar aficionado magazine does more for me then a playgirl magazine. However, I tell my husband I buy it for the article shhhhhhhhhh! I think its important to remember how information is forwarded is best determine by the audience. The beautiful photos of the cigars and their bans are timeless. Cigar bands and boxes were original created to be beautiful and artsy to lure the person in to an experience before your other senses could be plaited. In addition, cigar advertising encompassed all types woman and how they were portrait in that time. Clad woman are part of that advertising history although I myself have yet to see naked woman in that magazine.
On the other hand, I don't think you could denied the photo of Alejandro Robaina smoking a cigar August 2010 magazine tells a history before any written word is read. Much like your paintings photos in a cigar magazine should capture the history, the culture and the beauty of the cigar 's emancipation to compliant any written articles in the magazine.
I hope this is as clear as mudd!
