Maybe just my cynical nature, but I'd be shocked if this is legal in felony-friendly Maryland...

I think the Internet has made certain laws obsolete and unenforceable.

A friend tells me buys his cigars in Switzerland where there is no tax on chocolate... and tobacco.
Has them sent by courrier.
Surely buying cigars this wasy is not legal - but my friend has been doing so for the last 2 years.

The laws governing wine and spirits are so byzantine, could anyone really have a bad conscience circumventing them?

And, inevitably, one must ask: what are the chances of getting caught?
And if caught, what are the penalties?

Best regards,
Alex R.
