[quote=knokmdwn]Nice Wheel!!!!

He mules it and if he gets through, you get half. If he doesn't get through, you never heard of him!!!

Not a bad deal!!!!!!!!!!!! 🤦 [/quote

Um,,

He said he was bringing back 3 boxes..

He seems a bit tentative about the money for 10 yr old CCs.

I'm being helpful...

Jeesh,

I've brought back cuban cigars,cuban rum and dope from overseas...

and nobody offered any help.

what's the big deal ?

Jus jackin wit ya bro. No need to get defensive.

Personally, I have taken cc's through customs also, with all the bands off and no box. Not sure that I would take any unnecessary risk to get a box or 3 through. I think I would just ship them to myself in the States.

First time being a mule for CCs so not sure about all three.

See No. 5 above: "Bad part of the world. Wouldn't think of bringing back cc. Scrutiny of you and your luggage will be too great."

Older/aged is not necessarily better. Why take such a risk? if caught, your passport will be "flagged " for the rest of your life and you will receive uncomfortable scrutiny every time you return home.

And, there would have to be a damn extenuating circumstance before I would take take the economic risk of loss and/or confiscation that accompanies self-shipping

The risk is always there. I was in Costa Rica this past December. In Miami customs, I saw more than 4-5 people being pulled over for search. One lady didn't have anything on here except a handbag. I didn't bring any CC with me, because I didn't need to.

Buy something you might actually smoke every once in a while. And remember you don't necessarily need a marquee brand for that. Punch Punch or RyJ Cedros aren't bad...

Buy something for special times. Pretty safe with a marquee brand. Course you can always splurge for a RE but its mostly the "wow" factor...

Buy something to impress the moochers when you ask for a favor. Something Cazador recommended.

Why the hell take the risk? There are plenty of great cigars here? and most of them cost less

I know the Montecristo No. 2 is a fave but I love the H. Upmann No. 2.

I have brought back numerous boxes on several occasions from mexico and jamaica with never a issue. I was even asked about them once and thought I was going to lose them but he let them go though. I was a full box too!! So really not a big deal in my eyes... Just my opinion.

Ended up getting the:

Box of Juan Lopez #1 - 2001

Box of RASS - 2002

They were at a 20% price premius vs online prices but figured the age justified it.

Last year I bought a box 2005 JLs in Playa del Carmen.Still sealed with all the proper certification.

Brought it back in my luggage with 4 bottles of Havana Club,,,

The customs agent asked what I had to declare.I told him cigars and rum,,,

He said "welcome home"..
