For the third year in a row, the Spanish qualifying round for the final of the Cigar Smoking World Championship (CSWC by Oliva) has gone to… Germany. The German passionado Thorsten Ebers has won the Spanish round for the third time and secured his place in the Dubrovnik final on August 29th.
Currently living in Barcelona, Ebers kept his Oliva CSWC mareva (130 mm x 42) lit and smoky for two hours and seventeen minutes, making him the overall winner—far ahead of second-place finisher Marc Castell (1:32:27) and third-place finisher Eduardo Navarro, who finished in one and a half hours.
A total of fifteen enthusiasts participated in the competition, which took place at the Barcelona Pipe Club in a relaxed and fun atmosphere.
