I will dig into that. The Cigar Aficionado link doesn't mention that.

Yes, each of you can bring 100 cigars tax free. From the article:
"According to OFAC's website: "A traveler may include up to 100 cigars and 200 cigarettes in the $800 exemption from duty... Additional cigars and cigarettes may be brought into the country, but they will be subject to duty and Federal excise taxes. Excess amounts are subject to a 4 percent flat rate of duty."
That is the limit for ONE traveler (you). Your wife is another traveler. She is allowed the same amount.
