"A Cuban cigar roller has begun rolling a 70-metre cigar in an attempt to nearly double his previous Guinness world record, a spokesman said.
Working eight hours a day for nine days, 67-year-old Jose 'Cueto' Castelar is hoping to break his 2009 record of a 43.38m long stogie.
He hopes to complete his latest feat on May 3 and display it at the International Tourism Fair, which runs from Monday to Saturday next week. It would be his fifth record in more than half a century of cigar-rolling."
