CSWC Azerbaijan competitors in the slow smoking action

     The tournament was held in one of the best cigar places in the capital of Azerbaijan - the restaurant "Jakonda". Its classic interior and magnificent cuisine allowed the participants to prepare perfectly for the tournament. The guests clubs from abroad of the tournament were representatives of the Kazakhstan Cigar Club, the Cigar Club "Astana" and the Cigar Club "Moscow Aficionados". 

Due to logistical issues with delivery, the competition cigars for the Azerbaijan stage were dryer than usual, resulting in shorter finish times. Even in this situation, Azerbaijan CSWC participants performed admirably and set great times, which, in the end, are not accurate projections of the outcomes that Azerbaijan CSWC competitors could achieve. We will work hard to ensure that circumstances like these never occur again. - Marija Marovic, CSWC Head Judge

 Twelve participants of the tournament managed to "step over" the result in one hour of smoking this year. And the main fight unfolded for the second place between Yevgeny Zhuravlev (Moscow Aficionados) and Azer Mirtagavi (Aficionados of Baku). As a result, Yevgeny won this fight with a result of 1:19:28, and Azer, who took second place last year, became the bronze medalist of the tournament with a result of 1:18:34. The winner of the tournament was Elnur Adilov with a score of 1:42:29. 
The champion of Kazakhstan 2023, the representative of the "Moscow Aficionados" Anastasia Arsenova fought out of competition as guest smoker and again she  showed amazing result with dry cigars -  result of 2:16:56. We definitely see Anastasia as one of the favorites for CSWC World Champion title 2023
