I was browsing some of the laws of Manitoba recently and came across The Tobacco Tax Act. Now, I'm not a lawyer or legal expert by any means... but it looks like in Manitoba that unless you're a dealer or collector* it's illegal to posses more than 5 units of tobacco, or one unit of cigars or pipe tobacco. The act defines a unit of tobacco as 200 cigarettes, 200 grams of fine cut tobacco, 50 cigars, or 200 grams of tobacco product other than cigars.

So unless I decide to get a dealer's license, I couldn't legally have a coolerdor with more than 2 average boxes of cigars.

It's also illegal to send tobacco by mail unless:
It's intra provincial
being shipped between manufacturers and/or dealers
and a few other exceptions... but the ones I listed are the main ones.


* It's unclear to me whether they mean "a person that collects tobacco" or "a person that collects tax on tobacco"
