Jakonda is reportedly one of the best cigar places in the capital and besides local talent the competition attracted guests from three foreign cigar clubs, Kazakhstan Cigar Club, Astana Cigar Club and the Moscow Aficionados Cigar Club, as well. Twelve participants managed to make it past the one-hour mark, but there can only be one winner and this year his name was Elnur Adilov. At 1 hour 42 minutes and 29 seconds he was way ahead of the others, and the most exciting battle was that for second place. In the end less than one minute separated Yevgeny Zhuravlev from Moscow Aficionados and Azer Mirtagavi from Aficionados of Baku, who came in second last year.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">A special treat for the winner was a limited edition of the first araq in Azerbaijan.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cAraq is an ancient Azerbaijani drink, <\/span><span class=\"s2\">and it was ordered and branded specifically for the Azerbaijan CSWC qualifier<\/span><span class=\"s1\">,\u201d judge Evgeniy Zhidkov says.\u00a0 \u201cFor the wider audience you can describe it as rice vodka.
