The world's largest cigar

I have had much difficulty in researching this topic, and having now Guinness 2009 book for my own I am afraid I cannot guarantee an officially accurate result, however, have come up with something just amazing.

First of all, you may guess how long the world's largest cigar is, the length of it of course.

I will now tell you that it was 148 feet and 9 inches long. That's 45.3 metres. Wow.

Of course, it took several men, and six whole laborious days, to complete this task, which was pioneered and overlooked by Cuban Jose Castelar Cairo, who is also known as Cueto. It overshadowed the record held before by a Patricio Pena of Puerto Rico. It was therefore a point of pride and patriotism for Cubans, who are passionate about their cigars, and in turn whose cigars are considered the world's very finest. Indeed, Cuban cigars are stubbornly hard to beat in terms of quality and such.

Personally, if I were to win the national lottery, the first thing I would do would be to buy a very very very long house. I would then have a very very very long and thin ash tray made. Then I would sit down at one and of the house with the Television, and smoke my giant cigar for weeks and weeks and weeks.

Although, it would not smoke well. Cairo (it's maker) said himself that a cigar of such length existed only for novelty purposes, and not to be smoked.
