I am not big into reading, so the only cigar magazines that I get are the catalogs from CI, and JRCigars. That is enough reading material for me.

I have every issue of cA since 1992 which is only because they offered a free Volume 1, Number 1 to everyone who had a subscription to Wine Spectator, another Shaken publication. I subscribed and have renewed every year since. I actually don't even really enjoy the magazine that much.
European Cigar Cult Journal is far better than any other cigar magazine out there.

The older issues of CA go for some $$ on ebay.

Guess I'm kinda alone here, I enjoy the articals in Cigar Magazine. As for ratings showing favortism... well you have to pay the bills somehow you know.

I love Cigar Aficianado mag!
Are the reviews spot on? Well, they claim that they're double-blind taste tests, with neither the reviewers or the note-takers knowing what's being smoked or reviewed.
Are they lying? Well ... I dunno. I've never seen a bad cigar ranked highly, and I've never seen a good cigar ranked badly. That's good enough for me.
But the rest of the magazine is awesome ... great articles, great interviews. However, it really IS a lifestyle mag. Lots of Viper and Jaguar ads, lots of talk of expensive wine and liquor and women. (And this would be a bad thing?)
It's basically Playboy ... except the women have morphed into cigars.

If it was playboy the bands would be removed, and you would only get a good look at the top half of the cigar.
