Short answer
Allowed, within limits

  • Tobacco

    allowed, within limits

    Duty-free: 20 packs of cigarettes, OR 25 cigars, OR 200 grams of tobacco (adult passengers).

    DGA Manual del Viajero, FAQ 2: 'Se permite ingresar, libre de impuestos: 20 cajetillas de cigarrillos, o 25 puros, o 200 gramos de tabaco.' The PDF manual specifies this applies to 'pasajeros mayores de edad'. The allowances are alternatives ('o'), not cumulative. E-cigarettes/vapes are not mentioned by Customs (see unverified).
