May/June 2025 Issue Ratings

Jul 10, 2025 | By CA Editors

Our May/June issue included 72 new, expert cigar reviews, including an ultra expensive Cuban and a quintet of toros that each scored 93 points. You can see all of those cigar ratings below.

Much more awaits in the rest of the issue, which is headlined by veteran actor Michael Cudlitz, known for his roles in hit shows such as "The Walking Dead" and "Band of Brothers." Cudlitz is a serious lover of the leaf and is even a cigar bar owner. He spoke with executive editor David Savona to share his passion for cigars and reflect on his 30-year acting career. Also in this issue, we look at F1 on the Vegas Strip, twists on classic cocktails, Cuba's newest Behike, three generations of My Father Cigars and so much more. See the full issue here.
