Question regarding traveling with cigars

[Aron]

Hey everybody,

I'm planning on spending the summer in Italy and England (I know, life really sucks for me, right?). I'll be attending with a friend of mine, who, like me, is very into cigars.

My question is this: are there any things to be careful about regarding traveling internationally with cigars? At this point, I only own one CC, and there is no way that I'd be bringing that with me. So that won't be an issue.

But would I have to pay excise taxes on the cigars I already own? What about any cigars I buy while in Europe? Would I have to pay a duty on those?

Is there any way around this?

I appreciate any and all help on this matter.


Thanks a lot.

Aron
