2,100 Cuban cigars uncovered by dog at Toronto Pearson Airport

A Canada border services detector dog recently sniffed out some 2,100 Cuban cigars that were being brought into the country by a traveller who’d just arrived at Toronto Pearson Airport in Mississauga from the Caribbean.

The Canada Border Services Agency said on Friday detector dog Aggie uncovered the undeclared cigars while checking the baggage of passengers who’d arrived on a recent flight from Cuba.

The person who was travelling with the tobacco goods was detained and the cigars were seized by authorities, the agency added.

The CBSA did not say when, specifically, the flight arrived at Pearson nor did it reveal if the traveller was fined.

The incident is the latest in a number of similar seizures involving detector dogs at Pearson and publicized by the CBSA so far in 2026.

A spokesperson for the federal agency told INsauga.com earlier this year the CBSA “continuously tries to raise awareness regarding the need to declare items when entering Canada.”

All travellers are subject to CBSA examinations and “are required to make accurate and truthful declarations when entering Canada,” the spokesperson said. “Highlighting seizures done by CBSA detector dogs is another effort to raise awareness and remind travellers of this.”

The worst part is all these will meet an incinerator.

Are we sure those are the real thing? The dog may have done all of us a favor.

Black labs are the best! No way Auggie would waste time on fakes.

Unless he’s a double agent and really on our side.
