          3 Cartons? In Detroit... they'd think that's a briefcase full of money... put that away before you get jumped.

            That is still a +EV transaction.

            Did you write it down on your card or did they go through your bag?

              On my card, cause the retards at duty free shop told me u could bring 3 cartons back to the USA.

              Truth is your allowed 1 duty free, and everyone after is 10.07. You could bring back 9 or 10 before you'd be bumped up to "For resale duty tax". Even with duty tax it's 20$ cheaper per carton then the USA.
              I woulda brought back 10 cartons if I knew I could. Should of researched it

                  100% no......unless its glued on real good. Was in the pool with opie chit chatting for awhile on Saturday.

                  You should of seen all the females (none hookers as no hookers where allowed in the hotel we stayed in Sat) just staring at him. Opie started to feel uncomfortable as some checks where whistling at him and so on.

                      That's because you are an idiot. If you have read the rules before you left you would have known that you can only get only one carton of cigarettes duty free.

                            Not smoking will kill you, too. Damned if you don't, and damned if you do.

                                  The reality was both Iwin and Mug planned on bringing back 10 cartons of smokes each, but due to the incredible time we had in CR.......they both smoked a little over 7 cartons apiece the 4 days we were there.

                                  These 2 guys were great. Both just how I imagined they would be.....really great guys!

                                      It's because you brought in 3 instead of 1 or 2 right? You go over the limit on that stuff and they smack ya.

                                        It's been only 1 carton for years. Same with booze. 1 - 40 oz. bottle.

                                                Customs rules have been the same forever and are posted all over the place at airports. 1 liter of booze, 200 cigs, $800 total merchandise....hasn't changed in a long, long time.

                                                        $7.50 a pack of Reds in Madison, WI last time I was there. A lot cheaper here in Texas though...

                                                          Brock Landers is doling out advice on destructive vices. Everyone pay attention.

You believe in it, you are loyal to it, would defend it, and yet have no proof of it, other than that, at one point or another, you chose to believe in it. Self-hypnosis. What if there were a snapping of fingers that broke the hypnosis?

                                                              $12.50 a pack? that's ******* insane. They're $6.25 or so here I think. But hey if people are dumb enough to smoke they're dumb enough to go broke from it.

Tax was only ten bucks on the extra carton but would have either brought back more (to make the wait worth while) or the minimum (to avoid it) if I could do it over again...
