When the law changed under Bush43 to cease allowing travel exemptions, the cigars that were legally brought in prior were grandfathered. You could keep them, but the regulations remained the same, they were only for your personal consumption, you could not gift, sell or trade them. If questioned on their origins, the burden of proof would be on you. What might happen in the future if the exemption goes away again, I can't say, but historically, that was what they did.

Completely false.
