Arnold On The Future Of America • November/December 2023

Arnold Schwarzenegger's celebrity status is virtually unparalleled. After decades in the spotlight, the former bodybuilder, actor and Governor continues to inspire. Arguably the most famous living cigar smoker, Arnold has graced Cigar Aficionado's cover a record five times. But for our newest issue, we see a different side of Arnold as he sits down with Cigar Aficionado editor and publisher Marvin R. Shanken to talk about the future of America and what needs to be done for a brighter future. We also explore casinos coming to New York City, the interesting world of golf carts, the greatest sports debuts of all-time and the smoky Scotch whiskies of Scotland's Island of Islay. We also do a deep dive into the expansion of non-Cuban cigars in international markets, the favorite cigar of a New York Knicks legend and a new edition of Connoisseur’s Corner that features a cigar nearly 60 years old. Plus, we have 72 new, expert cigar ratings and so much more.
