Phil Ivey Makes Cigar Afficianado Cover

Phil Ivey recently made the cover for the popular cigar industry magazine, Cigar Afficianado.  Though the magazine is more of a lifestyle magazine than just cigars, some readers had mixed feelings about him being on the cover.

On the CA Forums, one reader posted: “Who the hell is Phil Ivey and what good did he do for the world for being on the cover? What about George Lopez or Hugh Grant(non-smoker by the way) who got caught with a prostitute? Seems to me that some of the people featured on the covers are not the “role models” I got used to anymore.”

Others on the forum were happy to see Ivey on the cover.  Some of the positive comments included: “There’s everything we gentlemen care about… cigars, golf, spirits, clothing, watches, movies and yes… poker… which has seated itself nicely into the realm of everything else listed above.”  Another poster stated, “Yes Phil comes across as cool and a good guy unlike some in the poker world. I am glad to see him on the cover of CA.”

If you are a big fan of Ivey, and enjoy the occassional cigar definitely check out this month’s issue on newstands.  Here is the cover image:
