CSWC x LES FINES LAMES
“Is CSWC the craziest challenge in the cigar world?”
For us at Les Fines Lames, the answer is yes, definitely yes.
If you're the kind of aficionado who enjoys stretching out a cigar session for more than three hours, then the Cigar Smoking World Championship was made for you. Founded 12 years ago in Split, Croatia, by our friend Marko Bilić from Club Mareva, the CSWC is the world’s ultimate "slow smoking" competition.
“The CSWC is more than a competition. It’s a way to stir deep emotions in every cigar enthusiast, through the spirit of friendly rivalry.”
— Marko Bilić, Founder & Organizer of CSWC
With over 50 qualification events across 40 countries, hundreds of smokers each year battle for a spot at the grand finale in Split.
The rules are simple: smoke your CSWC cigar as slowly as possible, keep your ash intact for at least 40 minutes, and avoid burning the band. Finish last, and you win.
