Protecting customs in your luggage?

[BellevilleMXZ]

I'm hoping to bring some customs home in a few weeks.....what are u folks putting them in to protect them on the way home packed in luggage? I was thinking of taking some kind of Tupperware container?

I carry 2 bundles in my carry on and they aren't protected by anything. In my checked suitcase, I will just wrap a bundle in a t-shirt or shirt and that's it.

Not a bad idea. Bring a few if you're planning on more than a couple of bundles. You want to spread them around between checked and carry-on. Don't want all your eggs in one basket so to say.....

I had mine wrapped up in t-shirts and some in an empty rum bottle cylinder. All arrived into Australia without any damage.

You don't want to make that part of the suitcase inviting.

I pack Tupperware in my luggage. On the way down pack your clothes in them. On the way back throw your cloths in your carry on and pack your customer in them on the way back and check it. As H M said slit them between Carry on and checked.

This is going to sound weird but I took a ton of empty Tupperware containers that I get when I buy turkey at our local Costco, I can tell you they will fit around 20-25 monsdales comfortably in each one.

I did get some funny looks when I had my customs shopping spree day (Club Havana, Yolanda customs at Hotel Melia, etc) when I packed everything up in those Tupperware’s in but everything came thru unscathed after a lot day of smoking, enjoying amazing food out at Santy, and then being jumbled around in my backpack all day long, until we slumped back into our casa off La Rampa in town.

Interesting side note: when we were packing bags to leave, we noticed that we had too many tuppers so I asked our Cuban family if it would be ok with them if we left some of them-they just about got teary-eyed bc this was a prime example of what they didn’t have any access to and they LOVED them.

I wished I’d brought the 20 more we had just sitting at our house.

Oh well, next time.

And about customs: us customs defiantly tore apart all the boxes and cabinets I had brought back: so much so that they didn’t even try to put the slide tops back on right and just crushed it all back down when they zipped up the suitcases. The Tupperwares, however, came thru with flying colors!

Saran wrap the bundle and sealable food bag, spread between checked and hand luggage as @Habana Mike said. I bought several back with me again this trip. Saw some slight damage on a couple of Elefantes so I guess I'll need to smoke them first.

Bring a roll of cellophane wrap and roll each cigar in it.  That is what I do for travelling and works great.  Cigars are protected, stay humid for week+, and can take one at a time when hitting the town.

Thanks folks!!!

Giant zip lock bags and bubble wrap. I carry bubble wrap everytime I travel in case I find something fragile (like whisky) I want to bring home.
