CIGAR AFICIONADO MAGAZINE Issue MAY/JUN 2025

Veteran actor Michael Cudlitz is known for portraying imposing figures on hit TV shows, from the zombie world of "The Walking Dead" to the battlefield in "Band of Brothers." While these characters smoked cigars on screen, it wasn't all just for show. 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, top-caliber golf courses on Florida's Gulf Coast, twists on classic cocktails and Cuba's newest Behike. Plus, we explore three generations of My Father Cigars, recap cigar celebrations like ProCigar and Cigar Aficionado's Big Smoke Meets WhiskyFest and discover the favorite cigar of country music star Travis Tritt. There's also 72 new, expert cigar ratings alongside a review of a 1986 Davidoff in our latest edition of Connoisseur’s Corner.
