Re: cuban cigars

it is illegal to bring back to us, but I have not gotten caught yet. I usually take back about a dozen, but take off all of the labels that way they can't prove they are cubans

Re: cuban cigars

A big NO- buy them and smoke them on the island, but don't get caught trying to get them into the states.

You can't bring them back, but trust me, my husband does all the time. The cigar store will take the wrappers off for you, put them in a box marked "Dominican" and give you a false receipt.

Re: cuban cigars

It is definitly illegal. I don't buy their cigars anyway I bring my own cheapo JR's. The prices are outrageous. They charge up to $25.00 for a cuban that they probably pay $2.00 for. I pay less for a cuban in NYC than you in Aruba!

Re: cuban cigars


Their is a $5 or $50 fine if they are found at customes, not a steep penalty.
It was in the usa today last year, not much of a deturent. go for it!!!!

Re: cuban cigars

You can buy Cuban sigars unwrapped. Some retailers might have a cigarbox for Dutch cigars available. That way, customs cannot recognize them as being Cuban. Just ask the retailer.
