The official Australian Final of the Cigar Smoking World Championship (CSWC) is being held in Perth, Western Australia on Sunday, 23 August 2026. Enter as a competitor or take a seat with cigar in hand, to watch history get made.
The Cigar Smoking World Championship is an internationally sanctioned slow-smoking competition with national finals held across dozens of countries. Each national final follows a standardised international format - the same rules, the same official cigars, the same judging criteria applied worldwide.
The Australian Final is Australia's official qualifying event: the gateway to the international stage. The Australian Final is an official component of the international CSWC programme - not a standalone event that borrows the name.
Win the Australian Final, and you compete at the international CSWC world final - with flights, accommodation, and event access included.
That is the pathway, and it is a direct one. The Australian Final exists to find the best slow-smoker in the country and send them to the world stage.
One event. One outcome. One representative.
