Big enough to make a Cohiba look like a Virginia Slim, witness the world's largest cigar, on display in Brussels, Belgium. The carcinogenic monster measures in at 21 feet, weighs a smidgen over 1,000 pounds, and is comprised of nearly 10,000 tobacco leaves.
For comparison, a standard cigar is about five inches long -- making this Guinness contender fifty times longer. The cigar is on display at the Historical Pipe and Tobacco Musuem, a cornucopia of all things cancer-stick related. Other highlights include a recreation of a 19th-century smoking room and exotic clay smoking pipes from all over the world.
Take note that the cigar is the largest, not the longest. That honor of longest goes to a a 62-foot long cigar put together in Puerto Rico in 2005.
