I will warn you though that Canada has some of the most repressive tobacco taxes in the world rivaled only by the UK. Whatever prices you have seen on the net expect to triple it. Ontario's taxes don't have a cap so you can see as high as $90 cigars. Here in Alberta though we are capped at $10 a stick on the wholesale cost which means A's max out under $70
