Cuba - and cigars

[Dave Potts]

Does anyone out there know if there's a limit to the number of nice fat juicy cigars one can bring back from Cuba, assuming of course they're all for personal consumption and not for resale?

For the US it's still 0

Travelling out of the EU these are your allowances:

200 cigarettes; or 100 cigarillos; or 50 cigars; or 250gms of tobacco

2 litres of still table wine

1 litre of spirits or strong liqueurs over 22% volume; or 2 litres of fortified wine, sparkling wine or other liqueurs

60cc/ml of perfume

250cc/ml of toilet water

�145 worth of all other goods including gifts and souvenirs.

Cheers for that - neglected to say they're coming into the UK.

I think personal consumption is irrelavent, as Cuba is not part of the EU. So probably the normal duty allowance for travellers arriving from Non-EU countries would apply. According to the Customs and Excise website you are allowed to bring in 50 cigars.
