Help a brother out?

My question is directed to anyone who may know the answer: So, when shipping tobacco to Canada with a customs declaration, upon receiving does the recipient have to sign for it and prove that they are of legal age???

I'm not usually home when the postman arrives, so he leaves a package pick-up slip in my mailbox. I take the slip to the post office where they verify my ID and address (I show them my drivers license), and then I have to sign for the package and pay the applicable taxes. Canada Post collects them on behalf of the CBSA. The legal age in Alberta is 18 and I believe that they will check your age for alcohol or tobacco deliveries.

I should add that if the package slips through customs without inspection, the postman just puts it in my mailbox.
