Is there anything to read about cigars in the UK? I can't find anywhere that even stocks Cigar Afficianado
Your local newsagent would get it if you wanted it My local took a month or so, and it's never out as the same time as the US, but I get mine this way. Mind you, it's not all that tbh.
Thanks for all the comments so far, interesting stuff. I personally find CJ more in line with UK cigar smokers as it's just about cigars and not golf, gambling, private jets or anything else.
There are some really good cigar articles on the How to Spend It section of the Financial Times. Most written by Nick Foulkes. There is a free app you can download or think you can probably find it online, once there look under the Fine Living section. Really good stuff.

I agree, the FT articles are excellent.
In fact, can anybody recommend any good blogs/websites?

I've said it before...so I'll say it again - CA used to be almost worth the price when James Suckling had a featured article, Our Man in Havana." That and the cigar reviews. Now, the cigar reviews are about the only reason I look at it.
There used to be another mag, Cigar Magazine, which was almost all cigar articles, including one by your own Simon Chase, that was great, so naturally, it was discontinued.

I would buy a good cigar & lifestyle periodical. Those ones cgars ship gratis with orders are just ads and society pictorials. I am not interested in that: If I could make a suggestion, the myth of the finest Havana puros being lovingly rolled on the firm, tanned inner thighs of beautiful young virgins is definitely worthy of a serious piece of investigative journalism & THOSE photos are ones worthy of the print Just a thought Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
You do know I hope that was completely invented by an American advertising man, it's believed to be inspired by the women who sorted the leaves and held them on their thighs as they did so. Women did this job because their colour perception is better than men's.

Agreed, Nick's been fighting the good fight for years.

My December edition arrived today and cigar reviews aside, I do find it helpful to check in whether my boat remains en vogue from season to season [emoji6] ImageUploadedByTapatalk1415894365.804484.jpg
Hmm, Don't know about that one PJ, the agve Male & female who have colour perception, I would guess is similar but more men have colour blindness than women, so obviously one of those men wouldn't be any use. I can't read the Ishcarra book of printed colour dots, I can see the colour of each dot but I can see the patterns the dots make. I once saw a clever poster for BMW, it was a mass of coloured dots & it said if you can't see the car in this picture, you can't be a colour checker for BMW. Damn I thought, that's another job I am never going to qualify for.

Wouldn't mean anything to tobacco. Women's colour vision is only better in the green to blues register. In print processing and proofing women were employed by 'traditional' repro houses because of that. Computer technology has now pretty much made the repro house a thing of the past, and the craft and eye skills have gone from the trade.
If you want to, you can.
And, if you can, you must!

Just because it isn't right doesn't mean it doesn't happen though, hence the birth and continuation of so many myths and urban legends.

Pointless. Would be like trying to convince you Yanks that Coca Cola isn't good for you, and that the Tooth Fairy didn't really give ALL your mums the recipe for Mum's Apple Pie .... would be almost unconstitutional TJ.

Ok, so how about this for a deal? Everyone who posts on this thread their thoughts/preferences and opinions on cigar press and media in the UK gets a FREE copy of the first issue of Cigar Journal 2015...
Just DM your full name and postage details and I'll liaise with CJ and arrange for them to send you your free copy of the magazine when it comes out. All who have already posted on-topic answers are eligible - as are new posters from now on. How do you like them apples?
