      The second ever Georgian CSWC Championship was held in one of the best lounges in Tbilisi, which celebrated its 10th anniversary this year, “Havana Club”. 21 "cigar athletes" took part in the Tournament.
     The mark of one hour was overcome by six participants. Koba Patarkatsishvili took the sixth place with the result 1:03:06. On 5 minutes more (1:08:14) smoked Dana Zhanadil, the Chairman of the Board of the Kazakhstan Cigar Club, who flew specially to the tournament.
     For the third place in the next 10 minutes fought the President of Georgian Whisky Club Giga Khatiashvili and fumelier of Havana Club lounge Dimitri Gakhov. As a result Dimitri became the bronze medalist of the tournament with the result 1:15:01, having smoked 2 minutes more than his rival.

After the tournament participants were offered a varied tourist program. Some of them went to the coast of the Black Sea to Batumi city, visiting several beautiful waterfalls and mountain canyons on the way. And others headed to the wine-growing region of Georgia Kakheti. Having tasted the wonderful wines of Georgia and enjoyed the views of ancient fortresses and beautiful chateaux they refused to leave this beautiful "corner of the world". We hope next year to see participants from even more countries and show them the beauty of the Georgian land under the magnificent cigars” - CSWC International Judge Yevgeniy Zhidkov
