Sounds like he either quit or was fired as he is claiming he isn't retired. I wonder who will be the new cuban expert responsible for covering Cuban cigars?

Wonder if this means he is done with Wine Spectator as well?

I know I'm not that smart...... But that has fired written all over that small paragraph.

He tweeted this 4 hours ago

"The reports of my retirement have been greatly exaggerated. Stay tuned for exciting things to come."

And yes, no more Wine Spectator for James...

Ah the old conflict if interest. "I covered it for years so clearly I am now qualified to make my own wine."

Peter Weller?

Sad to see him leave but as a friend of James, I am sure he will do something great.
