The import of Cuban cigars in the US is not legal be it from

Answer 2

You can buy Cuban Cigars in Mexico.. but they still stink and they are NOT CHEAP.

Answer 3

Why Cuban Cigars ? Think a bit and see for Dominican cigars, much better !!!!!

Answer 4

lisamisc is incorrect with her info as President Bush closed down the loophole that used to allow those on OFAC approved trips to bring back $100 worth of Cuban goods, generally accepted as a box of cigars.

But the other answers are correct - it does not matter where the cuban goods are purchased from - it is still illegal to purchase even in a country where it is legal to begin with.

Answer 5

Generally speaking, it is illegal to bring Cuban cigars to the U.S.  It is legal to bring $100 worth of them if you go to Cuba on a humanitarian trip (same as an escorted tour) and bring them back.  Problem is, if you go to Cuba, you're only allowed to take $200 with you to spend.  These trips are all inclusive of hotel, food & tours, so you don't need much spending money while there.  You can always take extra money there; you just have to be discreet (hide it).  We took $600 and got by with it.  Even brought cigars back.  It was a great trip and they are still going on.

Answer 6

Unfortunately NO it is not legal. But people do by removing the labels
