Default World's coolest cigar sculpture!

I was visiting an electronics test lab in Columbia, MD, and of all places, they had this sculpture of a cigar smoker in the lobby of their office. I thought it was extremely cool so I took a picture to share with my fellow inmates. It is life-sized, and has great detail like the eyelashes and eyebrows on the face and the veins on the back of the hand. The part I really liked is how the face "floats" in mid-air, supported only by the cigar. What do you think?

I got one in perfect condition from craigslist for $75. Might be worth a search in your area if you are looking for one.
