Tennessee football players, fans, legends light up cigars after Alabama win 16 years in the making

Some well-aged cigars were lighted by Tennessee football fans on Saturday in Neyland Stadium and beyond.

The Vols' 52-49 victory over Alabama signaled a celebration unlike Vol fans have been able to enjoy for a long time. The goalposts fell, the Neyland Stadium field was rushed and cigars were lit by the patrons wearing orange.

And it wasn't just fans. AD Danny White, coach Josh Heupel, VFL legend Peyton Manning and many players had cigar smoke wafting inside Neyland.

It's the first Tennessee win over Alabama since 2006, and Vol fans smoked like it.

Here are some of the best (but certainly not all) cigar-related shots after Saturday's win:
