QuaiDorkay Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 May be off topic but coming back from Havana I bought 3 bottles of 7yr Havana club at the airport and instead of my usual they only had the special ones in a box. I didn’t think anything of it but to my dismay instead of 750 they were 100 and I got stopped by every fricken person on my way to DC. They cut the bag, weighed, scanned and 3D imaged every bottle. Apparently 3-750’s are ok but 3-100’s make you a liquor mule. They didn’t care about Alex’s 1,000 custom rolls though... thank god! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ABurnett Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 In December of 2016, my wife and I came back from Cuba through Miami with 12 bottles of rum and no one batted an eye. They didn't even weigh anything. They DID however, look in the duty free bag to make sure the receipt was in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cigar Surgeon Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 I started packing a travel luggage scale years ago when I was in Nicaragua and spontaneously found myself over by 12 lbs. Has saved my bacon in Cuba and other travel destinations quite a number of times. They're inexpensive and quite light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
