I have a Xikar 15 ct travel humidor (no release valve). I heading south on a plan next week and plan on taking some smokes with me. I have not taken this on a plane yet but have read the reviews about trying to open the box after a flight.

That said if I put the whole box in a ziplock and close it but not lock it with the clamps for the flight do you think I will still have "frozen seal" issues? Anyone try something like this? I figure for the few hours on the plane the sticks wont have any drying issues in the ziplock and I can put a rubber band around the box so the sticks don't fall out.

Thoughts on this idea?
Also anyone know if there are any issues with current TSA regulations about taking said box in a carry on? Or should I just send it below with my clubs?
