The Liqueur Candies are filled with the actual liqueurs, same taste
and same potency as what you get when you buy it bottled.
For many years, these candies were not sold in the USA, at least not
in New York because the authorities were afraid that children would
find them and eat them with adverse results. I remember bringing back
such candy from a trip to Europe and filling out that I did not have
any in my luggage. Nobody searched our bags.
However, coming back from Canada one time, the border officials looked
into the trunk of our car and found several boxes of liqueur candy
and confiscated them. Luckily, they did not find the box of Cuban
cigars which we had bought as a gift for someone.
) That could have
gotten us a stiff fine, especially if we had lied about it.
Liqueur candies are legally sold here now, but Cuban cigars are still
not allowed to be brought in, unless you are a foreign tourist and say
that you use the cigars only for yourself, during your stay here.
