LUXURY AND PRECISION MEET IN ARMENIA’S CSWC EVENT

In the heart of Yerevan, the official Armenian round delivered not only a fierce competition but also a celebration of the country’s growing place on the global cigar map.

The Cigar Smoking World Championship (CSWC) made its mark in Armenia this year, uniting passionate cigar aficionados for an unforgettable evening of precision, patience, and camaraderie.

Hosted at the prestigious The Alexander, a Luxury Collection Hotel, the event unfolded in an atmosphere of refined elegance. The luxurious surroundings, paired with impeccable service, created the perfect setting for both competitors and guests to immerse themselves in the unique world of slow smoking.

Participants faced the ultimate challenge — to enjoy their cigar for as long as possible while keeping the delicate ash cone perfectly intact. Every second mattered, and in such a tight race, the top three were separated by mere minutes:

🥇 Marat Yeghiazaryan – 1h 35m 22s

🥈 Arman Arzumanyan – 1h 34m 45s

🥉 Edgar Harutyunyan – 1h 31m 25s

The winners were honored with an array of gifts and special prizes, rewarding their skill, endurance, and mastery of the art of slow smoking.

The evening once again proved that Armenia is more than capable of hosting high-level international gatherings, creating connections between enthusiasts from diverse cultures and delivering a truly exceptional CSWC experience.
