Think you have what it takes?

Join us for Nebraska’s official World Slow Smoke Championship Regional Qualifier, where competitors will battle for the opportunity to advance toward representing the United States at the 2026 World Championship in Dubrovnik, Croatia.

Whether you’re competing or cheering from the sidelines, this is one of Capital’s most anticipated events of the year. As the competition unfolds, the room comes alive with friends, families, and spectators cheering on competitors as every second counts.

Last year’s Nebraska champion, Eddie Lankas, earned the opportunity to represent Team USA in Croatia. This year, another Nebraskan will begin that same journey.

No experience? No problem.

First-time competitors are encouraged to participate, and every registration includes the official competition cigar and entry into Nebraska’s regional qualifier.

Bring your friends. Bring your family. Order a great cocktail, enjoy the atmosphere, and experience one of the most unique nights you’ll find anywhere.
