Can anyone post what the newest legislation is on bringing cigars back from Canada. We want to know also what constitutes as an authorized trip where you can bring back so much? I read somewhere that if you go to Canada and fly to Cuba then buy cigars and come back it isn't illegal.

Not if you are a US citizen.

If you're a US citizen buying Cubans anywhere anyhow is still illegal. Doesn't matter if you got it in Canada or Mars, it's still illegal and definitely illegal to bring into the US.

Having said that why Canada? Our taxes makes buying CC at any B&M here prohibitively expensive. There are better and much cheaper ways.

As for going to Cuba, buying CC and bringing them into the US. It's all good until/unless you get caught. It's a personal risk that you must decide if it's worth taking. A lot of Americans take this risk.

First of all, there is no "newest legislation." It's been illegal to bring Cuban cigars into the United States from any country including Canada for 50 years.

Second of all, it's illegal to bring Cuban cigars into the United States from any country.

Third of all, what constitutes an "authorized trip" would be a missionary, humanitarian or journalistic trip. You can't bring any cigars back even if your trip is authorized.

Fourth of all, why would you go to Canada, then go to Cuba, then back, just for cigars, when you can just order them on the internet? It's still illegal to bring Cuban cigars into the United States, and it's also illegal to travel to Cuba as a United States citizen. Besides, Mexico is closer to Cuba.
