Flying with Cigars

I'd think, as long as it's checked baggage, not carry on, you'd be ok.

You're allowed to take one regular lighter (not a torch) on board with you in your carry on. I'd put the cutter in your checked luggage. If worse comes to worse buy a cheap $3 cutter and a cheap lighter when you get to where you're going.

No torches on the plane. Anywhere.

As an aside, lighter, cutter, etc., rules are different for domestic vs. international flights.

Take a cheap cutter in your checked luggage. tsa are just a bunch of minimum wage mallcops. I have had nothing but bad dealings with them,most are not fit to work the drive thru at booger king. They are too busy hassling people with too big of a tube of toothpaste while some fucktard gets by with a weapon. Don't get me started or I'll blow a gasket. I do not feel protected just because there are 900 drooling tards working at the airport for $3.75 an hour

Supposedly, the rules had changed with checked in luggage. There was a time that you were not permitted to carry cigar cutters in checked baggage - however it's now permissible to do so. They're not supposed to confiscate the cutter - but then again (as Kevin eludes to), they ain't the brightest bulbs in the pack...

I toss my Otter box into my checked luggage - with the cutter and lighter under the bottom tray. I've not had any issues with anyone taking my lighter/cutter/otter box. All has been good. I'd not be so tempted to carry it through the security check point - they seem to make the biggest deal over the craziest things...

Last time I flew for work I went on a shuttle. All carry on. No problem with the cutter, lighter or the cigars. They didn't even look at them.

They confiscated my shampoo.
