Cuba Trip for rookie...

Do they ever make examples out of travelers trying to bring cigars back into the US?

Not to say that they definitely haven't, because it is certainly possible that they might have, I've never heard of it happening for the quantities travelers would typically carry. Normally they just confiscate or destroy the cigars and fine the person and send them on their way.

The additional thing to consider is that with modern security and tracking being what it is, that person might get the royal treatment every time they go through customs for the foreseeable future.
