I've never really thumbed through a CA before. I recently received a copy of Cigar Magazine with an order from ccom. Pretty good publication, IMHO.

I too got an issue of Cigar Magazine and found it to be a good read. Had some decent reviews and the articles were cigar related. What a concept. ;0)

I can't say I hate CA, but I agree it's not as focused on cigars as I sometimes would like. Cigar magazine tends to focus on cigars and tobacco related stories much more. Also, I have one issue of Cigar Press and it seems to be very similar to CM, though I haven't seen it in too many places.

Personally I enjoy Smoke Magazine---some good insight and stories and plenty enough cigar stuff...

i get smoke occasionally and i do enjoy its articles. I also have a subscription to CA and I personally enjoy it although I can understand how some people believe it does not discuss cigars enough. It always had interviews with manufacturers and usually has articles about a person, usually well known, who is into the cigar hobby as well. The best issue I have received was the issue related to cuban cigars and the embargo. It also always has golf related stories because, for many people, golfing is a paired hobby with cigars. It tends to focus on "the good life" too. most likely because a majority of its readers can afford what they write about; hotels, clothes, etc. I can see how this specifically would draw away many readers, if you cannot afford the finer life or it does not interest you to fantasize, this eliminates a large section of the magazine to read. Same goes for a person not being interested in golf. That being said, usually towards the back of the magazine they have a large amount of cigar ratings and more cigar related articles, although these should be in the front. Plus a lot of people believe their reviews are based off of who pays for advertising but i disagree with this because they do give lower ratings to companies who advertise more often then many believe. It is such a big magazine MANY cigar companies use it for advertising.

I love CA magazine. People need to understand that they don’t make a great deal of money just with the membership cost, so of course they are going to have adds but that will never mean that they will replace hard content over an add. The magazine has only gotten better over the years. Besides can people tell me allot of other great magazines. I can count them with my hand.

I have a subscription to cigar magazine and love it. I also like smoke magazine. CA is ok, but they seem to think that all their readers are millionaires.

I'm not really sure about the other publications. I've never seen Cigar Magazine at a retail chain, but then again, I've only recently discovered it, and haven't looked. I would assume that it's carried by Barnes & Noble, especially at the larger stores.

Ive found both cigar magazine and smoke at barnes and noble, but for some reason they're not always there.
