He has 11 children, 40 grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren.

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.

But Mr Banos lags behind the world's oldest man, American Walter Breuning, by three-and-a-half years.

Breuning is 114.
