I had NO IDEA cigars could be so glam. Covers ranked in order of raditude.
August 1998: Chuck Norris
Notable cover story excerpt: At 58, Norris is comfortable with the idea of growing older. "Sometimes I can see myself as an 85-year-old man with a walker, yelling 'Halt!'"
Grade: C. It's like, I know I should care? But I can't care anymore.

Summer 1996: Arnold Schwarzenegger
Notable cover story excerpt: He grins impishly. "To me, it tastes great. I know your magazine is called Cigar Aficionado, but...." He shrugs, as if to say, he's no expert; he just likes cigars.
Grade: C. More like SNOOZinator.

June 2004: Alec Baldwin
Notable cover story excerpt: "I look at Tom Cruise, and he is a fucking genius. He's like Tiger Woods for me."
Grade: C. [Sigh].

February 1999: John Travolta
Notable cover story excerpt: "Have a lobster," Travolta says, holding out the platter. "They're very fresh. And Peter steams them just the way they do in Maine. Very simple."
Grade: C+. No complaints, but...meh?
