Poland is unquestionably a CSWC superpower. It has demonstrated its strength over the years, and one of the strongest demonstrations of that strength came in the season 2021, when new names debuted in the season and finished at the very top on the end of it. It may be stated that this is beginner's luck, but we are confident that it is far from it, especially since behind these new names are experienced and award-winning smokers who lead these young competitors to these top results.

All official activities of Polish smokers are thus closely monitored. There are high expectations for the results, which they are working hard to meet. They are one of my favorite slow smokers, one of the most fair play competitors, and they have the best female slow smokers in the world - Marko Bilic, CSWC Founder

Elena Tronina, Woman World Champion 2019 shared her experiences with Borys and Klaudia

And Poland have more than enough of these remarcable names who shaped CSWC history as Former Woman World Champion Elena Tronina, Woman World Record Holder Agata Piotrowska, top class Marcin sakowsky and legendary Tomasz  Zolodkiewich who first broke the 3 hours time barrier. These individuals are not just well-known slow smoking cigar figures, but also excellent competitors, colleagues, and patriots who generously shared their hard-won expertise and methods of success with newcomers. They coached and supported them in order for them to achieve such amazing successes not just for themselves, but also for the flag of their common country.

Great sportsmanship moment - World Champion and 2nd place  shaking of hands

Elena didn't manage to win the national Qualification competition despite reaching one of the highest positions on the TOP 20 list of the Season 2021. Still, she was overjoyed that her "Student" Klaudia Ide had won the title of Polish Champion and that she had once again represented Polish woman strength in the grand final, when Klaudia finished in a record third place. Borys, her companion, was also a rookie in the season 2021, but he also was a student of the more experienced Polish smokers, and he reached amazing final second place in the same final. That was a tremendous outcome. Finally, Poland finished second and third in the Grand Final, claiming the title of Woman World Champion, third place on the TOP 20 list of the best timings of the season 2021, and second place in the final ranking of countries based on the number of positions earned in the TOP 20. We can all agree that this is a fantastic achievement, and Poland is a rising star - but can Polish slow smokers manage the pressure of success in 2021 and keep it going in 2022? We'll find out soon enough.
