CUBA is paying homage to its
long-time dictator Fidel Castro,
with celebrations for his 90th
birthday this year including the
creation of a 90 metre long cigar.
The gigantic smoke was hand-rolled under
the instructions of veteran cigar-maker
Jose Castelar, who hopes
to gain another Guinness World
Record for the giant creation.
Castelar and his team worked 12
hours a day for ten days to roll the
cigar which was dedicated to the
“beloved Comandante”.
Ironically although Castro was
well known for appearing in
public smoking a fat Havana, he
actually quit the habit more than
30 years ago, at the age of 59
when he said it was “a sacrifice
I must make for Cuban public
health”.
A GROUP of Canadian thieves are
set for a major sugar rush after
making off with 20,000 litres of
maple syrup.
The heist saw them break into
a warehouse near Montreal’s
Trudeau Airport, stealing an entire
shipping container filled with 20
pallets of Kirkland syrup which
were destined for Japan.
A $10,000 reward is on offer to
anyone who provides information
leading to the arrest of the sticky fingered
gang.
Officials say it may be difficult
for the offenders to offload the
contraband since Kirkland is well
known as the Costco house brand.
