Jay-Z hires cigar maker for world tour

Rapper Jay-Z is said to have invited a professional cigar roller to accompany him and Justin Timberlake to every venue of their Legends Of The Summer world tour.

The 43-year-old, who has 14-month-old daughter, Blue Ivy, with his wife Beyonce, asked a cigar expert he met at a party to accompany him and Timberlake to every venue of their tour, reported Sun Online.

"Jay met this cigar expert at a friend's private party recently. He had been hired to roll cigars for guests in a smoking room. They were chatting for ages about the origins of tobacco and all the different types and then Jay-Z offered to have him on board for the tour dates. It goes well with the nature of the tour where there's going to be a lot of whisky and cigars," a source said.
 

The '99 Problems' hitmaker's aim is to create gentleman's club feel backstage.

Jay-Z previously ordered an unlimited supply of Ace of Spades champagne for Kanye West when the pair embarked on their Watch The Throne tour.
