Taking tobacco to Phils

[imagine]

Does anyone know what (if any) the limits are in taking tabacco into Phils via the airport ? The reason being that my Father smokes cigars, and has bought a few packets to take with him next month. He has only bought 3 boxes of 6, but I don't want him to get caught for having too much.

Thanks

i dont know if this may help?

Customs. Visitors are allowed to bring in their personal belongings duty free, as well as two cartons of cigarettes or two tins of pipe tobacco, up to one liter of alcohol, and an unlimited amount of foreign currency. Rules may be different for returning citizens (balikbayans) – if in doubt, check with the Embassy or Consulate in your home city

Don't forget Steve, if you all travelling together then each of you can take the allowable quanities.

Might be a nice idea to actually try some of the local cigars. They sound pretty good.

ok Peter, but both me and my Mother actively give my Father a hard time about smoking, so we don't want to get him on the local weed. It will be like Pinatubo going up again!! I never let him smoke in my house, specially if he will be holding my little son.
