My husband was given a gift of a box of Cuban cigars by a friend.(captain of a ship we had sailed from Mombasa to Seychelles). We had been traveling from the Seychelles and had been in transit nearly 24 hours. Had to connect in DFW for our flight to LAX. Arrived at DFW (Xmas eve), customs guy searched our bags, came up with the box of cigars...pulled over a trash can and systematically destroyed each cigar and threw them in the trash. It wasn't pretty. Husband explained that they were a gift; no dice.
