Cuba manufatures longest cigar

An official Cuban publication says a veteran tobacco roller has manufactured the world's longest cigar.

The weekly Juventud Rebelde says the new cigar, which is three-point-four meters long, was rolled in four days by William Cornejo who says it is of the best quality.

The longest cigar previously was two-point-nine meters long.

That's kept at the tobacco museum in Havana.
