...spending $3,100 a month on cigars. After a media outcry, Netanyahu today promised to curb his habit of puffing on $30 stogies at work and offering them to guests. (Add up the figures and it's hard not to suspect that the help had their hands in the humidor too.) Not that Bibi hadn't sacrificed enough already: During his opposition days, he smoked 'em Cuban; once elected, he had to switch to a Dominican brand to stay on the right side of the U.S. embargo...
