Nineteen foot long cigar

[Bmed07]

A cigar measuring 19 feet long, three feet in diameter (that's a 2,304 ring gauge) and weighing a tidy 1,600 pounds is on display at Corona Cigar Co. in Orlando. The cigar, made in Danlí, Honduras, at Gran Habano Cigar Co., is fresh from the International Premium Cigar & Pipe Retailers trade show last week.

Created using 16,000 wrapper leaves alone, according to the company, this Gran Habano was made by a team of 20 workers over a period of 20 days. Gran Habano puts its value at $200,000.. It sits on a 900-pound stand, pushing its total weight to 2,500 pounds.

Oh and by the way, it's billed as smokeable. Imagine telling your wife your going to the smoke shop to by a cigar and you come home with that..... :whistling:

Can you imagine the draw poker you'd have to use if it's plugged? :laugh:

I saw it last week when I was there.But I don't think it's smokeable cause they used a log and wrapped the tobacco around it. It was cool to see.

Tax would max out at 40 cents, yes?

Well, tell you one thing for sure, I don't want to see the person OR creature who can put that in their mouth whole!

Maybe the log was used to represent a stem!
Just pull it out and it should smoke fine. :sign:

I think it looks like a big "duece". nasty!~~

Unless that was tobacco unsuitable for smoking.... that's quite a waste IMHO.

George Rico said that he came up with a cap that has 100 hookah hoses on it so you can smoke it. They need to market this cigar like a printer: $100 for the cigar and $199,900 for the propriety cap that you need to smoke it
