Worlds Largest Cigar
The worlds' largest cigar gift was unveiled today by www.FactoryCigars.com It wieghed in at over 300 pounds and was over 64 feet long.
Amongst the crowd was the world media and every cigar manufacturer on the planet. The buzz was so great that the Premier of China Wen Jiabao turned up for the unveiling at the Havana, Cuba factory where it was created with the express permission of ailing leader Fidel Castro.
"This is a glorious day to show the people of the world that Cuba is capable of creating both art and recreation using a national pass time as the foundation", Fidel Castro told the crowd of over 100,000 spectators who applauded loudly full of national pride.
The cigar took over 69 days to roll with two shifts of 11 workers working full time. Guisepe the factory owner said, "The length of time is directly attributed to the quality of our leaves. Because we only used prize stock tobacco leaves, there is a very short supply and it must be carefully handled from the field to the factory cigars workshop. This creates many delays and long hours of waiting and rolling."
