🚬 Cigars

Rules differ by region: The US lifts previous bans on Cuban cigars but customs value limits apply. Most other countries have no specific cigar import restrictions beyond standard duty-free allowances.

💼 Cabin bag

Permitted. Cuban cigars may be imported for personal use. Duty-free limits apply — declare quantities and values at customs.

✈️ Hold (checked)

Yes

Permitted. Declare at customs.

💡 Tip: Cigars are permitted in carry-on and checked baggage everywhere. Customs allowances typically limit quantities — 50 cigars is a common duty-free limit. Cuban cigars have specific US import rules.

Common questions

Yes, for personal use (not commercial resale). Regulations have been liberalised. Declare them at US customs.

Typically 50 cigars in UK, EU and Canada; 25 in Mexico; Australia is based on tobacco weight (25g total tobacco). Quantities above the allowance attract customs duty.

Guillotine-style cigar cutters are prohibited in carry-on as they contain a blade. Punch cutters (with a small hole-punch only) may be permitted — officer discretion applies.
