Montecristo Classic and Montecristo White will be the featured cigars. The
tournament will be held on June 9th at The Montclair Country Club in West
Orange, NJ.
Handmade with ultra-premium tobaccos carefully selected and aged over a
period of years, Montecristo Classic is perhaps the ultimate Montecristo. It is
a medium bodied smoke of intricate complexities. Montecristo White is
crafted with a hand-selected Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade wrapper. It is
luxuriously rich, smooth and well-rounded.
The star-studded tournament will include many past New York Yankee greats
including Graig Nettles, Ron Guidry and Bill Skowran as well as former NFL
and NHL players. Non-sports celebrities attending include former New York
City Mayor Rudy Giuliani. Radio station WFAN's "Mike and the Mad Dog"
will broadcast the event live on their #1 rated call-in sports show. Inspired by
Yogi Berra's commitment to children, the tournament raises money for the
Yogi Berra Museum & Learning Center, which offers culturally diverse
educational programming designed to stimulate students' interest in sports
and its relationship to academic endeavors.
