most chabad guys try to get one without a pitum.

according to this the Rebbe always wanted a pitom- http://www.esrogim.info/Rabbeim.asp

Most Calabria esrogim have no pitom.

Planning on traveling to Canada with my Lulav and Esrog , anyone have any experience? did you declare it? did they confiscate it or did they let it through because its a religious article?

My son brought a Esrog from EY through terminal 8 and the custom agent was really cool. He said if the esrog does not have a pitom it is not kosher. He wanted to show that he new the rules
