Cigar Aficionado

Cigar Aficionado is a magazine for the man who enjoys life’s great pleasures: fine dining and entertaining, the finest wines and spirits, world travel and the arts. At the heart of every issue is the cigar: what to smoke, where to smoke, and how to enjoy a great smoke.

highlights • Great cigars don’t have to be expensive. One of the highest-scoring smokes of the issue, the La Aurora 1903 Cameroon Churchill, has a suggested retail price of less than $10. And while Padrón’s pricier anniversary cigars tend to dominate the tastings, a cigar from the core line was a top performer and sells for only $11.20.
