Carrying Cutters on Planes?

[mithril]

i haven't flown with my cigars yet so i'm not sure of the regulations. check out yellowpages.com for cigarshops. here is the link

yellowpages doesn't catch all the store so there are probably more there.

Awesome...There are a couple shops right down the street from our condo. Thanks!

No blades on the plane at all. That includes cigar cutters. Pre-cut your cigars and bring matches if you plan on smoking at the airports. If not, stow the cutter in your checked baggage.

You can bring a cigar cutter as long as it is packed away in a checked bag, just not in carry-on. BTW, which lake, Lake Elizabeth or Lake Marie, I grew up water skiing on Lake Elizabeth.

Enjoy the Hurricanes down there!

You can also take a cigar punch, and punch a hole in the cigar rather than cutting it.

my brother-in-law has used the point of a pen in a pinch, if you don't have a punch.

I've used tooth picks before as well.

Thanks everyone for the great advice. I have a travel humidor that I am just going to put in my checked bag. I am going to tuck the cutter inside the humidor. Just wanted to make sure they were not going to confinscate them.

I live right down the street from Lake Marie, We keep our boat on that lake as well. My house is right up the hill on Wilmot Ave, just past were E. Lakeshore Drive ends. Do you have a place in Twin Lakes??

I would put my stoagies in my carry-on........but I am the type of person that ALWAYS takes the maximum amount of carry-on allowed.

ETA: You/we can still take stoagies on the plane right??

According to TSA's website, cutters are allowed in carry-on and in checked baggage...

Look at all their flight rules

I would still be a bit carefull, the enforcement of these regulations seems to vary an awfull lot.
Also, I wouldnt put cigars in an unpressurised hold, you get a quite rapid temprature change in there.

BTW: dfrea, I think that your URL is mangled.

Nice thread, I was ruminating on similar things. I'm flying on tuesday to Germany, the land of many great cigars. Oh wait.

I just flew down to Florida last week and I had been wondering the same thing about cigar cutters.

A sign posted at the security check said "No cutting devices of any kind allowed".

Just flew back and forth from Florida to NJ, and talked to the tobacconists in NJ...any cutters are okay as long as they're in checked baggage, and they just modified the rules again to allow butane lighters in checked luggage providing they have been drained of butane and are empty, at least that's what I was told by a cigar store owner, who said they get the latest bulletins regarding this stuff, from the Feds...
