We cannot purchase them from Cubas and ship them here. We will be heavily taxed again. However, we may bring 1 box (and only 1) per person when visiting cuba. We can declare only 1 box and bring in a few more, but then again, I am sticking to the legalities of this matter.

If you're paying $18 for a CAO Brazilia in Canada, it would be more appropriate to simply state that cigars are expensive there, CC or NC. I've spent less than that on a fiver of Brazilia before SCHIP was passed.
