Season 2023 is upon us, and it is intriguing to observe the performance of Rocky Patel competition cigar in 2022, and to try to predict what can be expected from it in the new upcoming season.

We made these cigars with special care, not only from a construction or burning standpoint, which is critical for competition, but we also created this cigar to be a super tasty cigar in what we succeeded. Excellent ratings and reviews attested to this.- Rocky Patel, founder of Rocky Patel cigars

We can say that the season 2022 was the best for the Rocky Patel competition cigar - a new best time is set, and results in the Grand Final were significantly improved over Grand Final 2021. Times among the TOP 20 list of the 2022 season have also been moved up. - So, yes, season 2022 for CSWC competition cigar was the best ever - but was this due to cigar aging or better and  experience and knowledge of competitors on the new competition Rocky Patel cigar?

Sometimes, competition cigars as handmade product can have technical issues, but that is also part of the excitement of the CSWC Challange

Our experts believe it is both, and both elements have a significant impact on the final time. For certain, competitors learn more about the competition cigar through trainings, time chase events, and competitions, and they gain more knowledge and experience, resulting in better overall times. But, do cigars have an impact? We believe so, but not in the amount that competitors' experience and skills do. Rocky Patel CSWC cigars are becoming more aged and technically balanced, as well as more stable and consistent. However, that is not enough to achieve results greater than 2 hours of smoking without competitor skills.
