Season champions
Denis Adam
Pipe Club Nové Mesto nad Váhom (SK)
248points, Cup record
The first winner of the Cup from abroad. He won the longest season in its history, with 16 contests, and collected a record 248 points. All season he trailed Jan Vodička, who led for nine contests in a row. He only took the lead at the second-to-last contest, the Babinský Memorial in Brno, and never let it go. His only contest win of the season came at Zacharova fajka, by just 27 seconds.
Over four seasons: 23 starts, 377 points, longest time 1:43:12 (Martinské kouření 2026). In three years he climbed from 175th place in his debut season to the title.
Alois Pospíšil
Dýmal klub Nový Malín
191points
The Cup’s most consistent champion. He did not win a single contest all season, but he finished on the podium in five of his eight starts and never dropped out of the scoring half of the field. He took the lead after Socka dýmka in January 2025 and nobody unseated him over the remaining seven contests. His 45-point margin is the largest in Cup history.
Over four seasons: 18 starts, 477 points, 9 podiums. He scored placement points in 17 of his 18 starts. Longest time 1:47:58 (Podzimní kouření 2023). Clearly the best in head-to-heads between champions.
Martin Štěpánek
SKD Havlíčkův Brodnow PC Stříbrný groš Kutná Hora
184points
Winner of the closest season in history: he beat Michal Hubacz by just two points. He finished all seven of his starts in the top eight, and his average placing of 4.7 is the best of any champion. He took the lead at the Czech Championship in Vimperk. In the same season, his points almost single-handedly carried Havlíčkův Brod to 3rd place in the team competition.
Over four seasons: 27 starts, 570 points, 4 wins: Socka dýmka 2023, Májové kouření 2024 and 2026, Martinské kouření 2024. He holds the Socka dýmka record of 1:48:40.
Libor Holý
PC Dymka.net
181points
A champion carried by persistence. He is the only winner to have taken part in every contest of his season – all nine – and he scored placement points in each of them, although he won none and never reached the podium. The title was decided only at the final contest: his 4th place at Podzimní kouření in Šumperk put him ahead of his clubmate Michal Hubacz.
Over four seasons: 41 starts out of a possible 47, more than any other smoker. 624 points, the second-highest total in history. 15 top-ten finishes, longest time 1:44:27 (Kouření pod Černou věží 2026).

How each season was decided
When the winner took the lead for good, and how many different smokers led the standings during the season.
| Season | Winner | Margin | Led for good from | Leaders in season |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| IV | Libor Holý | 12 pts | contest 9 of 9Podzimní kouření 2023 | 6 |
| V | Martin Štěpánek | 2 pts | contest 7 of 9Czech Championship 2024, Vimperk | 4 |
| VI | Alois Pospíšil | 45 pts | contest 6 of 13Socka dýmka 2025 | 3 |
| VII | Denis Adam | 30 pts | contest 15 of 16Babinský Memorial 2026 | 4 |
Two of the four champions did not win a single contest in their title season. The scoring rewards consistency: 5 points for every appearance and points for the whole top half of the field. Conversely, Michal Hubacz and Jiří Janků, who have the most contest wins (six each), have yet to win the Cup.
