There's an ongoing corruption case against Benjamin Netanyahu for some time. 

According to court testimony and prosecution documents:

    From Arnon Milchan (Hollywood producer and billionaire):

    Cigars: Valued at NIS 267,254 (approx. $75,000)

    Champagne: Valued at NIS 184,448 (approx. $52,000)

From James Packer (Australian billionaire):

     Cigars and Champagne: Valued at NIS 229,174 (approx. $64,500)

Total estimated value: Over $190,000 in cigars and champagne alone.

 

Does anyone know of the actual inventory of cigars and Champagne?

Without seeing the list, my hunch is that the valuations are much higher than the actual real value. Then again, may be they're a lot closer today than they were when allegedly given.

TLV has one of the better selections of Habanos at the Duty Free along with a large cigar lounge.

Did you supply James Packer with the cigars?

There are $3k champagnes laying around if you know where to look that I know, I'm sure there's $10k bottles a click away.

It's hot in here.

This could get out of control really fast. I remember reading years ago that Bebe liked Davidoffs.

The Jerusalem Post 

How much time did Netanyahu spend smoking cigars?

Approximately 3,240 hours. Some 135 days. That’s how much time Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu may have spent smoking mostly Cohiba Siglo V cigars over the last nine years. This is based on a rough estimate, taking into account the details of the police report on its probe into Netanyahu released on Tuesday.

Netanyahu and his family are alleged to have received gifts of a total value of NIS 1 million, which included cigars, champagne and jewelry. According to reports on Israeli TV in January, the gifts included Cohiba Siglo V cigars and Dom Pérignon, although this was disputed by Netanyahu’s lawyer at the time.

From the earlier picture he's smoking in his living room, 1997.  

He used to live in Boston, I wonder if he was going Dunhill on Newbury or one of the old school cigar shops around Boston & Cambridge?

He spent a fair amount of time at MIT and Harvard so he probably roamed the streets a bit.

Gents, this thread was always likely to raise geopolotical issues. 

It was allowed to stand (just), simply because the cigar (and champagne) aspect was front page news globally yesterday. That is the reason that it was tolerated.
