Do you always declare them upon entry to the US or do you wait to get questioned...? Also, when declaring, do you state their origin or do you just specify "cigars"...? I declared them once - 2 (?) years ago at IAD (I don't think I have to declare them as long as it is less than 50 pieces). And I have been searched once (SFO). Both times the costumer officer noticed that 'they' were cubans - and both times he did let them in when I answered thruthfully that they are for my own consumption (they never digged deeper by asking if 'all of the cigars were for my own consumption ...)
