Busted by US Customs & Border Protection -- TWICE!

I used to get my Cubans from a great guy in New Zealand, but somehow he fell off the face of the Earth. Then tried two other sites on the internet, and received fakes from both.

Then I tried one in Switzerland a couple years ago. Two orders, two weeks apart. Both got nabbed by US Customs. I received two 20-page legal documents from them with threats of prosecution.

So I'm nervous to try again.

I flew to South Africa to be the keynote speaker at a dental conference, and had zero trouble going through US customs.

Anybody know very much about this. Any cause to worry about trying to find another place?

Thanks.

I've heard of a lot of confiscations and also hear the Switzerland was the place to buy them. I'm not that crazy about testing the laws, so I just buy the legal cigars where I don't have to worry much about fakes. I have brought home Cuban cigars from Mexico- but only 2 or 3 sticks and had one in my pocket when going thru customs. They don't care about a few cigars and are looking for more before taking any actions.
