Clinton FUMES Over German Cigar Gift -- GERMANY - President Clinton's evening went up in smoke after being presented with a box of cigars as a gift. The cigars came from Cuba and the President reportedly lost the smile on his face when it was presented to him. It was not known whether he was embarrassed because of the role cigars played in the Lewinsky affair or because they are considered contraband in the US."
