A cigarmaker from Havana has entered into the Guinness World Book of Records for rolling the world's largest cigar. To commemorate Jose Castelar Cairo's feat, a canon was fired to celebrate the occasion. His monster-sized smoke measured a whopping 45.38m in length.

"The fifth day we started to work from ten at night and we finished the following day, at 12 in the morning, and by then we had finished 45 meters of work." Enditem
