If I recall correctly, it's bi-monthly (6 issues a year). But, the value of the cigars is greater than the subscription cost. The 8 Beli's I got were probably valued close to $60. And you get a free magazine on top of that...

European Cigar Cult Journal is the best cigar magazine I've come across.

I got my Belicoso sampler in last night. Did not take long at all. Now to figure out which one to smoke first...

Let me know how the subsequent issues are.

I read the first issue, it's a great magazine. The article on Indian figurines was quite fascinating. I also liked the article in the very back about short-fil cigars and the U.S. market. I've been a spendthrift as of late, will probably have to wait until late summer to subscribe.

I've read other reviews of this mag that say it's just a JR's catalogue with better stories . I do happen to enjoy the mag though .

Thats some lightening fast responce action you got going on there...

I picked up an issue at one of my locals... Not a bad little magazine. They seem very interested in getting good, accountable ratings...

I can't recall the exact details, but it seems to me that a few years ago Lew Rothman had a falling out with Cigar Afficionado Magazine. It may have been over a bad review of one of his private brand cigars. I'm not sure.

So I wasn't surprised when I got an offer in the mail last year for a subscription and sampler deal from JR's for th new mag. JR's is striking back with their own magazine.

I haven't seen the magazine yet but from what I've heard its well done.

I also recall one time Lew R made a comment about how Cigar Afficionado's magazine and reviews are skewed according to their advertisers. Of course other folks have also voiced the same opinion and this is a free country totally run by big business.....so...

But what's a little funny is that Cigar Magazine I'm sure will only be advertising and reviewing cigars that are sold by JR's and I doubt they'd call a JR Alt a dog rocket!

Talk about being hypocritical!

I'm sure though that each mag has articles of interest. IMHO CA is too hoitey-toitey and pompous. SMOKE Magazine is pretty cool but I'm sure they also fall into the advertising thing as any woul
