STEFAN KNEZEVIC TAKES MONTENEGRO’S CSWC BY OLIVA 2025 CROWN AT CASA DE PUROS

On July 18, 2025, the elegant setting of Casa de Puros in Montenegro became the stage for one of the most anticipated national rounds of the Cigar Smoking World Championship by Oliva cigars

Bringing together passionate cigar lovers from both Montenegro and abroad, the event blended the spirit of friendly competition with camaraderie and a shared appreciation for the slow-smoking tradition.

After more than an hour of careful, patient, and tactical smoking, the top honors went to:

🥇 Stefan Knežević – 1h 10min

🥈 Branko Bošković – 1h 03min

🥉 Udo Becker – 1h 02min

The competition was meticulously judged by Milica Popović and Aleksandar Đuretić, ensuring fair and professional conditions for every participant.

Special thanks also go to Željana Bilić and Ana Rončević from Split, whose organizational and technical support added an extra layer of professionalism to the event.

The evening’s atmosphere was nothing short of exceptional – Casa de Puros proved once again that it can host a world-class competition with style, precision, and warm hospitality.

As the road to the Grand Final in Split, Croatia (August 29–31) grows shorter, Montenegro’s representatives have shown they have the dedication and skill to leave their mark on the world stage.
