Answer 1

You don't pay taxes unless the smokes are reported to Canada revenue service. Most shippers don't bother. I have also found that many places don't ship to Canada.

The most reputable shipper to Canada that I have found is Cigar Tycoon USA http://cigartycoon.com/.  I recommend that you email them if you have questions as they would know more.

I know they are reputable as I use their wholesale division to supply my store. Good Luck.

Answer 2

There are probably customs restrictions for how many cigars can be brought in at one time, and also from what countries.  You might check with the Department of Customs (maybe their website will state tobacco restrictions)
