Weekly News (July 9, 2012)

Editor’s Note: For the first time in almost three months, the 2012 cigar release list has been updated. Unfortunately a PHP error was preventing the updating, something that required moving servers, which we did in the middle of last week. While more than 250 entries were either updated or added over the weekend, there’s still a lot of work to be done, but it should be up-to-date by the end of the week.
