Anastasya Arsenova's performance at the Grand Final of the Cigar Smoking World Championship was nothing short of spectacular. Demonstrating a perfect balance of concentration and finesse, she outshone her competitors and claimed the title of Women's World Champion. What makes her victory even more exceptional is her achievement of securing a place in the top three overall, a feat only two other women have accomplished in the history of the competition -  Christine Magnin from Switzerland was in charge of the milestone, since she was the first woman to finish in the top three spots - third place in the Grand Final in 2014. The second is the renowned Klaudia Ide of Poland, who holds the current World Record. In 2021 Grand Final, she finished third also.

We are proud for this amazing success of Anastasya Arsenova. She achieved historical result and we can say that from judge's side her result well deserved. One of our best judges Evgeniy Zhidkov was in charge on last third of the Grand Final on her table and he confirmed her race was fully  by the rules- Marija Marovic, CSWC Head Judge
