Cubans

SSDVC · 01-07-2011, 08:51 PM

I was checking out the duty free stuff in the Greek airport and the folks in the humidor said it is now legal to bring Cubans into the US. Anyone here anything about this??

Only if you're buying cohibas in the glass top box.

reminds me of being in Mexico the first time my mom bought some oranges from a little kid while we were in the traffic line to come back into the states...and of course they got taken away at the checkpoint...and all the time my mom was going "but the little kid said it was ok!" lol

Only if you buy every cigar in the shop!

I recently bought a Cuban doll but was told it was illegal to import them into the country and had to send mine back.

Those folks in Chicago didn't get that memo!!

And the foreign cruise lines make a fortune in their cigar shops saying the same thing.

Actually, once they touch US soil they can stay. Bridges don't count.

You can't bring 2 though, that would be considered polygamy.

If you dont get caught then it is ok. If you do BOHICA (Bend Over Here It Comes Again)!!!

yes, but only if you tell customs the moment you land on US soil!

Cohibo and Bullivars are ok to bring back, 100% legal!
