A Cuban cigar roller broke his fourth world record on Wednesday, creating a 43.38m stogie that doubled his previous best.
Sixty five year old Jose Castelar smoked his own 2005 record of a 20.41m cigar, and vowed to continue to roll record-breaking creations.
“I’m going to continue until I do one that is the length of the Malecon,” he said, referring to Havana’s famous 10km seafront promenade.
Castelar - who has rolled for a Saudi prince, among others - received a Guinness World Record for his troubles.
Decked out in a traditional white guayabera, Castelar explained he learned to make cigars when he was 14 years old.
But the athletic looking sexagenarian said he limits himself to smoking one cigar a day.
