The Corojo #5 El Gigante made me laugh... Smokeable... hardly lol!

thebayratt · 08-19-2010, 06:29 PM

Actually it IS!!!

They can cut the cap with a saw and there is a big "nipple" they made that goes over the head and has 200 tubes coming off it. 200 people smoking one cigar.... sounds like a big Hookah...

Its not the world's largest cigar but its the world's largest smokable cigar.

Unreal...

Imagine coordinating that... get 200 people all sitting around outside with garden hose like tubes leading to the massive stogie.

You know, calling it smokeable means that they need to prove it. They have GOT to smoke one now, and there better be lots of pics lol.

They said it will be smoked but i forgot when. All I know if there is ONLY 200 people...they MIGHT smoke a 1/2" assuming they can draw enough to light it. even with 200 people drawing i doubt it will be enough to make that sucker glow.

Then they will have a rediculously over priced nasty smelling cigar butt that will need to be trashed. I applaud the cigar...not the "smokeable" part.

That was just down the road from me, wish I could have gotten in though. I'm curious beings you were down in New Orleans, did you get a chance to swing by the New Orleans Cigar Factory off of Decatur St?

Their my favorite (and so far only

) cigar/shop.

Its the worlds largest production cigar. Talking to George at the show, he was telling us that he'll actually put them into production if people want them. He said that it took 20 people to make the cigar but I don't recall how long it took (8 work days I think)

Here is some video on it

Actually it was 20. Thus the whole 20/20. Twenty workers and twenty days.
