Zaquiel Mayorga\u2019s winning time wasn\u2019t even two minutes better than Thorsten Ebers\u2019 in the third place. This year, the tables turned, and quite dramatically as well.<\/p>\n<p>The contest was held in Valencia, set against the picturesque backdrop of a beautiful hacienda. Some of Spain&#8217;s finest slow smokers gathered and the competition was fierce from the very beginning. Mayorga was eager to defend his title, but it just wasn\u2019t his year. Ebers, on the other hand, arrived well-prepared, highly trained and determined to claim his first title as the Spanish champion.<\/p>\n<p>\u200b\u201cAs the competition progressed, it became clear that Ebers had an edge,\u201d CSWC founder Marko Bilic says. \u201cHis technique and calm demeanor allowed him to smoke at an exceptionally slow pace, gradually building an insurmountable lead.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At 2 hours and 34 minutes, Ebers not only got his \u201crevenge\u201d, he also outperformed his fellow competitors by more than an hour and beat his own time from 2023 by 42 minutes. Cesar Martinez Casas came in second at 1 hour and 29 minutes and Mayorga claimed third place at 1 hour and 25 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe day belonged to Thorsten Ebers,\u201d Bilic concludes. \u201cHis impressive performance has positioned him as a formidable competitor on the global arena, and his victory is a testament to the evolving competitive spirit within the CSWC community. With his surprisingly high time and strategic approach, Ebers has indeed marked himself as a new name to watch in the world of competitive slow smoking.\u201d<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Thorsten Ebers 2:34:00<\/li>\n<li>Cesar Martinez Casas 1:29:00<\/li>\n<li>Zaquiel Mayorga 1:25:00<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Cigar Smoking World Championship qualifier in Spain last year was a close call, not just between two smokers, but three.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":68325,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false},"categories":[49,63,44],"tags":[5366],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/68324"}],"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=68324"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/68324\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":68327,"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/68324\/revisions\/68327"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/68325"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=68324"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=68324"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=68324"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
