georgelenard....just returned from negril last week & always bring Cuban cigars back...this year....5 boxes of Cohiba's...factory sealed from my cigar contact buddy in Negril...in my checked luggage for the 4th year, used to take the bands off as told & they write you a receipts for Jamaican cigars. I say huwee to that if customs whats to take them & charge me so be it ...they're looking for DRUGS..not cigars..of course on the customs card I claim nothing. My buddies who order them appreciate the real deal wooden sealed box..I don't even smoke them..not one.
