A quick stupid question re: customs :-)

[Johnno]

Greetings all

A quick question - I'll be on the plane in about 15 hours from now - heading down there - how much duty free scotch can I get away with and how much of the cigarellos ? The answer is probably somewhere on this forum already but after a heavy night on the mead and scotch I thought it would be quicker and easier to ask you all this way

John

PS I'll be in Recoleta if anyone wants to hook up for a single malt

Thank you SO MUCH It sounds like I can get TWO bottles of decent single malt instead of one Anyone in Recoleta who is a scotch-a-holic like myself is welcome to hook up for a few wee drams after I get over the jetlag - and the effects of whatever I drink on the flight Wassail to all
