Question regarding traveling with cigars

Aron · 03-13-2010, 03:35 PM

Hey everybody,

I'm planning on spending the summer in Italy and England (I know, life really sucks for me, right?). I'll be attending with a friend of mine, who, like me, is very into cigars.

My question is this: are there any things to be careful about regarding traveling internationally with cigars? At this point, I only own one CC, and there is no way that I'd be bringing that with me. So that won't be an issue.

But would I have to pay excise taxes on the cigars I already own? What about any cigars I buy while in Europe? Would I have to pay a duty on those?

Is there any way around this?

I appreciate any and all help on this matter.

Thanks a lot.

Aron

Unless you are bringing several boxes, no worries at all. Enjoy your trip.

Don't worry about the cigars, Aron, but pay special attention to the rules regarding the transport of lighters and cutters.

Travelling with cuban cigars isn't an issue anywhere but America.
