Goal is longest cigar ever
A Tampa cigar maker hopes to set a new Guinness World Record by rolling a stogie 180 feet long.
Longtime cigar maker Wally Reyes started Thursday and will finish the nearly block-long smoke during the city's Cigar Heritage Festival on Nov. 21.
Reyes says he and his wife, Margarita, are building the cigar in 18 sections — each 10 feet long.
An official from Guinness will be on hand at the festival to certify the record.
Reyes held the record before when he and his wife completed a 101-foot cigar, but a roller in Havana, Cuba, outdid them last year with a cigar that was 148 feet long

Making a world record is great achievement in itself.
