You're Goddamn Right
A Cuban cigar roller has cemented his reputation as the best in the business by beating his own record for the world's longest cigar.

The huge cigar measured a massive 268 feet 4 inches (81.8 metres), making it almost the same length as a football pitch.
Jose Castelar Cairo's latest effort will replace his previous record of 148 feet 9 inches when it has been verified by the Guinness World Records in London.
Cairo, who is also known as Cueto, has held the world record for the longest cigar four times, having first entered record books in 2008 with a cigar measuring 36 feet.

He has said he feels the record should always be held by a Cuban as it is a matter of national pride.
'It has to be in Cuba always because Cuba is where the best tobacco in the world is,' he said.
Cueto has been rolling cigars since he was five years old. His record-breaking effort took him eight days to complete, working eight hours a day, with the help of several assistants.
And the 67-year-old has not yet retired from cigar rolling, he hopes to top 100 metres with his next effort.
Cigars are made from three different types of tobacco leaves, with different kinds being used for the wrapper, the filler and the binder.
