Ignacio Cubilla Banos enjoyed the festivities at his home in Havana surrounded by family. He has 11 children, 40 grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren. Ignacio Cubilla Banos celebrated his 111th birthday in Cuba on Thursday Banos was a sugar factory worker in his younger days Banos, a former sugar factory worker, took some celebratory puffs on a Cuban cigar and showed off a wad of cash a son who lives in Miami had sent as a present before digging into a huge cake. Born in 1900, Banos only missed seeing twelve days of the 1900s. Banos' age means he's already lived half a life longer than his average countryman.

laficion Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 The cigar he's smoking is most likelz a Robalo, made for domestic consumption. A peso cigar. The cigar does not look at all like a Peso cigar, it looks better, I'm sure that he's going to age his Birthday cigars at least 5 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbrody Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Yes, that is the infamous Ring of Power. His 111th birthday is coincidental with Frodo Baggins, whom lived an extrememly long life, for a hobbit, before leaving Middle Earth for the Elven sanctuaries... The only thing he is missing is women. Lots of women. Then that, my friends, is one helluva 111th birthday to celebrate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the article he's got 11 children - doesn't sound like someone who's missing women Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
