*Ø* 108-year-old starts smoking again
The centenarian stopped smoking at the age of 99 because he couldn't afford the cigars.
"GREAT FALLS, Montana (AP) After receiving gifts of cigars from as far away as London, a 108-year-old man started smoking again.
"Retired railroad worker Walter Breuning spoke at his birthday party Tuesday of how he reluctantly quit smoking cigars at the age of 99 because he couldn't afford them.
"The Great Falls man heard from people like the English cigar fan who sent two Havanas after his story was widely distributed.
"'They were $12 cigars and they were good,' Breuning said. 'You can't get good Havana cigars like that out here.'"
