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.
