Neue Rekord-Zigarre
Unter «Die längste Cigarre der Welt» habe ich vor einiger Zeit über Rekordwahn geschrieben. Laut der International Herald Tribune («Tampa cigar makers go for record with 101-foot cigar» liegt der neue Rekord nun bei 101 Fuss (~30 Meter):
TAMPA, Florida: Cigar makers here hope a 101-foot (30.3-meter), 53-pound (23.85-kilogram) cigar completed over the weekend is headed for the record books.
Wallace and Margarita Reyes, co-owners of Gonzalez Habano Cigar Co., put the finishing touches on the $5,100 (€3,992) cigar at the Cigar Heritage Festival on Saturday. Local cigar makers worked for about 75 hours over several weeks to build the giant cigar.
