I know a lot of people here subscribe and I wanted to hear other opinions on current or past issues.

I just received the Autumn 2008 edition and can't put it down. I've had my subscription for over 2 years, but this is one of the best issues IMO.
I'm a little disappointed that in their reviews section they gave out eight (yes 8) 5 - STAR ratings, when previously it was pretty rare to see one 5 -star rating per issue. I know they were sampling what they call "Luxury Cigars", but 8 is a little much.
'07 Cohiba Siglo VI
'07 Cohiba Esplenido
Fuente Hemingway Masterpiece
Opus X Double Corona
Zino Platinm Crown Chubby Espescial
Bossner Baron
Padron 80th
Padron '64 Imperial
While I have tried most of the cigars listed above, I have to disagree with their 'A class by itself" ratings of them.
-----
The articles on Aging (pg.97), Connecticut Shade Wrappers (pg.79), Nicaragua (pg.83), and Rum (pg.49) were also very good reads. I think this is the first time I ever read this magazine from cover to cover in one sitting.
The brief write up on Illusione's ECCJ 15 (pg.22) has me searching for these this morning.
