Maker of the world's most expensive cigar has claimed that Bill Clinton is one of their clients and enjoys their 1000 dollar cigar.

Kaizad Hansotia, who is the chief executive officer of a Dominican Republic cigar company, Gurkha, said that one box of their "His Majesty's Reserve" costs 25,000 dollars, Fox News reported.

He said that his clientele includes A-List celebrities like Matthew McConaughey-and apparently one former president, who smoke the company's premium cigars and that "Clinton loves the Gurkhas."

Hansotia added that they hunt for the most exotic tobaccos around the world and his company produces about 20,000 boxes per year, and has a three-year waiting list.
