    Damn thats rough. I'd heard that Americans with DUI and DWI convictions were being denied entry into Canada. Speeding tickets take it to a whole new level though, glad you got through the gauntlet but sorry they got your Cubans man.
    There's only two kinds of cigars, the kind you like and the kind you don't.

    He says one was unpaid. But damn man. Sorry about your sticks. That's downright cruel.

    If you weren't on american soil and weren't going in, I would have argued that he couldn't take them. You should have also argued that they were bundled Perdomo overruns without bands. If you remove all packaging, they're unsalable as Cubans anyway. Next time, put some red dot Cohiba labels on them.

    BAD luck? You think it's okay to get speeding tickets and NOT pay them?

    Why didn't you just pay the tickets when you got them?

    When he asked you if the cigars were Cuban did you admit right away that they were?
    I said, you are taking my 10 cubans($300) and not letting me into the states??
    If you did, that wasn't thinking on your feet very well.

    He said that I'm already on USA soil so the cigars are gone no matter what...

    I didn't pay the tickets because 5 years ago I couldnt afford it. Then next thing you know 5 years has passed. And I brought the original copys with me just incase I needed them. I was prepared to pay them, I always pay my debts

    And like I said, I would of loved to argue with him about them being cubans or not but I didn't think it was the right thing to do at the time, espically when I know they ARE cubans. I'm not a good liar either I just wanted to get across, and the fact he ended up letting my girlfriend drive us across shows that honesty pays off with good karma in the end

    Besides, I'm not looking for pity, I smoke that many cubans in a week. I just thought I would share my story.

    I wouldn't call losing 10 cigars productive....
