SpecialsCSWC American season starts
Author: Inspector Z
CSWC American season starts. The American qualification tournaments are starting the day after tomorrow, with 15 qualification tournaments all over the United States. The winners of each qualifier do not only go home with a nice price but also with a ticket for the American final. The winner of the American final wins a spot at the final in Split, Croatia in September.
Each event has a luxury pen with a special Rocky Patel humidor for the winner. The runner-up wins a Les Fines Lames cigar cutter. The third prize winner gets a year’s supply of Boveda packs. The winner of the USA Final will win a Cuervo y Sobrinos watch. Cuervo y Sobrinos is the official timekeeper for the CSWC competition.
American Season
In the last decade, most qualifiers took place in Europe, with a handful in Asia. Last year would have been the year with a lot more qualifiers in the United States. Rocky Patel took the initiative to bring the event stateside and with his network, CSWC was able to organize many events. But then a worldwide pandemic derailed the whole world.
