The World Cigar Smoking Championship by Rocky Patel ushers in a new decade for the Cigar Smoking World Championship. The Cigar Smoking World Championship is an international competition in the “slow smoking” of cigars.

Competitors compete in how slow they can smoke their cigar with time penalties given for such things as breaking your ash or burning the competition ring (cigar band).

The official size of the competition is the 5 1/8 x 42 Mareva which, in 2019, was smoked non-stop from the initial light for 3 hours, 26 minutes and 8 seconds. Additionally, the cigar is available in both a Robusto and Toro format and features a San Andres wrapper with two binders from Costa Rica and Panama encapsulating fillers from Honduras and Nicaragua.

How long can you keep your cigar lit?

About Rocky Patel

Rocky Patel is a new name in the cigar industry, having only been producing cigars professionally since the mid-nineties. His first foray into cigars was when he joined the Havana Club in L.A. as one of the founding members after becoming fascinated by cigars having been introduced to them by a friend. Rocky was approached with a business plan which involved the manufacture of cigars for the American marketplace. Although apprehensive about the potential of the plan, Rocky made his investment which secured the manufacture of the first batch of Indian Tabac cigars.

In 2003, the company name changed to Rocky Patel Premium Cigars, to emphasise and market Rocky’s omnipresence within the business. Since this change, Rocky’s Vintage series has been the flagship cigar brand for the company, with other top-selling brands such as The Edge, Decade and Royale performing well also.
