Title: Passes, bombs, and Canada
Post by: kola on 07/02/2010 12:25 PM
With all the cigar passes, bombs, contests, etc ... I am curious about how this affects our Canadian friends.  My father lives in Canada, and I would love to gift him from time to time, but he says the Canadian Revenue cops count sticks as they cross the border, and you soon get hammered with duties and taxes.

I am curious about any information or stories that the CG pass/bomb veterans might have about cross-border cigarfare.

It's been done without issue that I know of.  ;-)

It would be wise to be intentionally "vague" about what is actually contained with the package.  :biggrin:

That'll work - just make sure to mark them as "gift" ;-)
