CSWC by OLIVA CIGARS CANADA FINAL 2025 – BIGGER, BOLDER, AND FULL OF DRAMA

On July 29th, 2025, Canada once again proved that it has a growing passion for the slow-smoking art of the Cigar Smoking World Championship by Oliva cigars

The Canadian Final, hosted at The Smokin Cigar Inc. in Toronto, marked only the second CSWC event in the country – yet it surpassed last year in every possible way, from the number of competitors to the energy in the room.

Competitors took their seats this year, a notable increase from the inaugural event, accompanied by an even larger crowd of enthusiastic spectators. The atmosphere was charged with anticipation, as returning competitors from 2024 squared off against ambitious newcomers eager to make their mark.

From the start, the competition was tight. But midway through, the room witnessed a dramatic twist: a contender who seemed destined for second place was hit with a penalty for a burned band, dropping them to fifth place. This sudden shake-up made the final moments even more intense.

The official results were:

🥇 Konstantin Saraginov – 1h 32m

🥈 Marian Todorovski – 1h 28m

🥉 Dan Danyshun – 1h 27m

Competitors praised the Oliva CSWC cigar, the official competition cigar for 2025, for its exceptional performance and quality, with many noting how it elevated the experience. The event once again showcased the unique challenge and camaraderie that makes CSWC unlike any other competition in the cigar world.

The success of the Canadian Final would not be possible without the outstanding support of The Smokin Cigar Inc., whose hospitality and flawless organization created the perfect stage for this celebration of cigar culture.

With participation and enthusiasm growing rapidly, plans for the 2026 Canadian Final are already in motion — aiming to make it the largest and most unforgettable Canadian CSWC yet.

The CSWC extends gratitude to its global partners whose support makes every event possible:

Oliva Cigars, Les Fines Lames, Cuervo y Sobrinos, S.T. Dupont, Damat Tween, Bosquet Paris, Boveda, DeART Humidors, Intertabac, Cigar Journal magazine, and Hulecos.
