BTW, I have it on recent fact from the Border Enforcement folks jut a few weeks ago that alcohol is now federally controlled on the amount you can
return with. Used to be it was up to each State, now it's ONE LITER per person or one six-pack of beer (sorry, didn't ask about tobacco). To enter
Mexico you're allowed 3 liters per person. That's verbatim from The Man.
Far's i'm concerned, just tests your recent how-to-hide-it skills, and the key is don't get greedy. Ain't worth the hassle. I take a lot more with
me going south than coming back north for sure; mordida is easier to control with Los Jefes.

Last time I was at the Duty Free store at San Ysidro I noticed a guy on his back stuffing cartons of cigarettes into a hidden compartment under his
trunk (where the gas tank normally is?). He had 3 cardboard cases, each holding 60 cartons.
He was still stuffing when I left and I alerted Mexican Customs with description of vehicle and plate number. I hope they caught him because 180
cartoons were not for his personal use |
That is no small thing. At the average California price I just looked-up, that was more than $3,800.00 worth of cancer sticks off the streets. The guy
must have thought he was bullet proof doing that in a parking lot in front of everyone. |
