The competition was started by Henrik Johansson as a local challenge in the city of Bor\u00e5s in 2019, but it was put on hold for a few years due to the pandemic.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>In 2023 Johansson and Mikael Andersson, the owner of the online store Mr Andersons Cigars, decided to make the competition national and add qualification rounds.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I moved back after living in Uppsala for three years, we started up again,\u201d Johansson says. \u201cThe competition was held at our club Fumar and we had a lot of participants, so I suggested we\u2019d make it into a national championship. \u2018Hell, yeah,\u2019 Mikael said, and then we started planning.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>All in all there were seven qualifiers around the country, from Malm\u00f6 in the south to \u00d6rebro in the north. The top three qualified for the final in Bor\u00e5s and a chance for the grand prize; a weekend at InterTabac in Dortmund.<\/p>\n<p>The smoke had rarely settled as Johansson and Andersson started planning this year\u2019s event. Another city was added to the circuit and the season record was set by Jonas Natt och Dag, at Fumar in Bor\u00e5s, with 14 millimeters left on the cigar. The final itself was an extremely tight race. Two millimeters separated the winner, Daniel Nyman from Fumar, from third place. His cigar butt measured 24 millimeters when it was all done and over.<\/p>\n<p>All in all, Johansson was happy with the season.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll clubs were represented at the final in Bor\u00e5s, and 20 of the 27 who had qualified were present, which was fantastic,\u201d he says. \u201cNow I hope it spreads to Europe, so we can organize a European Championship at one point. Let\u2019s see what the future holds.\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On May 11 the Swedish Long Ash Championship final took place for the second time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":67707,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false},"categories":[49,63,44],"tags":[9352],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67706"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=67706"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67706\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":67711,"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67706\/revisions\/67711"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/67707"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=67706"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=67706"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=67706"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
