Michael Jordan ready to move into cigar-friendly mansion

Everyone knows how much Michael Jordan loves his cigars.  The former Chicago Bulls great likes them almost as much as playing golf but probably not nearly as much as he enjoys smoking his past critics in public.

Jordan — rarely seen without a stogie in between his teeth these days — has been building what TMZ is calling the "world's largest humidor" — a 28,000 square foot of an estate in Jupiter, FL over the past three years.

Now Air Jordan is just about ready to move into the $12.4 million behemoth of a home which includes a giant state-of-the-art home theater — outfitted with special equipment to handle mass amounts of cigar smoke.

The 3-acre, 11 bedroom mansion has been constructed in the middle of an ultra-exclusive golf course community called the Jack Nicklaus' Bear Club — a place where Tiger Woods also resides.

TMZ reports that the compound has a main house, pool house, guest house and a two-story guard house.  Oh yeah, there's an athletic facility — complete with a basketball court.

Now word on where the high stakes poker games are played.
