CSWC arrived in Naples, Florida, the home of Rocky Patel premium cigars. It was held in one of Rocky Patel's first babies, Burn Lounge. The main office and warehouse of Rocky Patel cigars are also located in Naples. That was a fantastic opportunity for competitors to enjoy in the company of Rocky himself, Christopher May, Hamlet, Dave, Nimish and other great company personalities.
The evening was a great success! The emcee was Christopher Mey of Rocky Patel Premium Cigars. The judges included the Rocky Patel team members Dave Bullock, Fiona Sweeney, Hamlet Paredes, David Thompson, Nimish Desai and Christopher Mey. - Marko Bilic, CSWC Founder
Mike Lamen -winner of CSWC Burn Naples 2022
Daniela Wilson, in second place, is another example of top female performers.
The competition began hot, with 17 competitors beginning a slow smoking race. Many of them, almost all of them, slowed the game down, and fewer and fewer competitors remained in the race. Jose Fuego, the great champion in 2020, started well but then got faster at the end - still proving that first winning was not coincidental - he managed to finish third with 1 hour, 24 minutes, and 12 seconds. Daniela Wilson, a stunning woman, delivered an outstanding performance. She deserved a huge second place with a great time of 1 hour 37 minutes and 14 seconds, which was very close to the winner's time of 1 hour 39 minutes and 8 seconds - which belonged to Mike Lamen, who etched his name in the CSWC USA history as the winner of CSWC Naples 2022.
Jose Fuego, winner of Naples in 2020, performed great and this year
