Going down will be no problem, except the cutters and lighters... Coming back may present problems if they're not banded... Although they don't seem to care if there are only a few...

Dude, WTF? Is there a U.S. embargo? You can take whatever into Mexico w/out any problems. Coming back may be a different story. If you are clever enough with customs, you can get Cubans across disguised as toothpaste and a mistress too.

The custom agents on the Mexican side of the border will take any Non-Mexican cigars you have. All they get there are those crappy Te-Amos.

Ghost you need to consolidate your posts-ask the good folks that are going to shower you with cigars to send them to your resort destination in Mexico.

That will solve any customs difficulties.
