CIGARS AT REDFUCED PRICE

Jenő Sipos, spokesman of the Customs and Excise Office said yesterday the cabinet banquet held to celebrate the end of last year was very thrifty though he did not refute the claim that the banquet cost more than the notorious luxury meal at Söjtör.

Magyar Nemzet published yesterday the price of the banquet (HUF 870 000) and only the ’economic’ cigars cost HUF 60 000.
