News: James Suckling Retires from Cigar Aficionado
Per Cigar Aficionado…
James Suckling, who has been the European Editor of Cigar Aficionado magazine since it was launched in 1992, has retired from the company.
His primary coverage responsibility was Cuba. His assignments will be shared by the magazine’s senior staff including Executive Editor Gordon Mott and Senior Editor David Savona.
“James Suckling was a key contributor to the success of Cigar Aficionado,” said editor and publisher Marvin R. Shanken. “He will be missed, but we are fortunate to have a capable and knowledgeable staff regarding all aspects of the world of Cuban cigars.”

Looks like he is staying with Marvin Shanken as a full time wine critic...
he either quit or was fired. I think that's safe to assume.
I enjoyed his video and blog postings on CA... i wonder what next endeavor he's planning...
He also "retired" from Wine Spectator. Is a cigar line in his future?
Interesting. He just tweeted "The reports of my retirement have been greatly exaggerated. Stay tuned for exciting things to come." wonder what that means exactly
