A long cigar break

Cuba's rolling king Jose Castelar is attempting to crack the record for the world's longest cigar.

He has teamed up with five assistants and is using nearly 93lbs (42.2kg) of top quality tobacco to assemble a 98-feet (30m) cigar.

He has been practicing for 59 years for this moment. His uncle taught him how to roll when he was just five.

Castelar is trying to get the world record back from Puerto Rican Patrico Pena, after previously holding it three times.

But he admits it will be tough to find someone able smoke the monster stogie.
