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.

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

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

$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.

Spent two hours standing in a line at customs in Dallas (and missed my connection on Amtrak) because the duty free shop told me I was allowed to bring back two cartons... 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...
