Appellant played an active, central and commercial role in a large scale concealed cigarette importation and was only marginally less culpable than her husband; cultural and family circumstances were legitimate mitigating factors but did not justify reducing the accepted six year starting point materially; the District Court's discounts produced a three year term which was not manifestly excessive, so the appeal is dismissed.
