Cigar Club Mareva Appoints Ivan Zizic as Vice President

Cigar Club Mareva proudly announces the appointment of Mr. Ivan Zizic as its new Vice President. The decision was made by Mr. Marko Bilic, Founder of the Cigar Smoking World Championship (CSWC) and President of Cigar Club Mareva.

In the world of cigars, Mr. Zizic’s name carries recognition in the CSWC community. He is the most successful Croatian competitor in the history of the Cigar Smoking World Championship, as well as the Croatian national record holder, which places him among the top 20 best smokers of all time. Beyond his competitive achievements, he played a pioneering role in the Championship’s development — being the first to introduce cigar slow-smoking education for new competitors, helping shape the culture of skill and discipline that defines the CSWC today.

“Ivan embodies the true spirit of Mareva — professionalism, humility, and friendship. His intellectual depth and moral strength make him the ideal person to help lead the Club into its next chapter,” said Marko Bilic, President of Cigar Club Mareva.

Done, and thank you.
