The Cigar Smoking World Championship is an international competition in the “slow smoking” of cigars. Competitors compete in how slow they can smoke their cigars with time penalties given for such things as breaking their ash or burning the competition ring (cigar band). The smoker who takes the longest to finish their cigar is the winner.
Rocky Patel Premium Cigars is proud to be the official manufacturer of the Cigar Smoking World Championship (CSWC) cigar.
