Never had to pull it out. One time a long time ago I was travelling on business and they were thinking about not letting me pass with my Dupont Ligne II. I politely explained that the lighter was a gift and it was worth more than her wages for 27 weeks. She let me take it. That was the last time I traveled with a Dupont though.

Actually, flying into Denver, going to Parker for a night (in-laws), then to Yellowstone.
As much as I'd like to, I doubt I will get much of anywhere "out" to smoke a cigar. Will be in the backyard, hiking, on the trail, around the grill. Thanks to all of you for your comments and assitance in this whole matter, it is appreciated. Peace of the Lord be with you.

Great thread and great answers guys!! I am preparing for a flight to Rochester, NY in a couple days...
I did mail most of my sticks, cutters and torches ahead, but I will have a couple sticks with me in my carry on.

I have not had problems with a cutter while traveling in the US and overseas. I do not travel with an expensive cutter though just in case someone is having a bad day. |

I seem to recall the change in the list occurring about the time it became necessary for all screeners to be TSA, and that private agencies could no longer be used. |

I am flying tomorrow to Long Beach and I have one of these little yellow Colibra thingies. So, should I put a Bic in it and stuff it on top of everything else in my checked baggage, stuff a Bic in my carry-on bag, or do both and hope for the best? I've read through this thread and the TSA rules, but I'm still a little confused. I'm pretty sure I should NOT bring a torch. Any input?
Thanks in advance! |

Carry on your cigars and cutters. Matches can be carried on, but why bother. Just grab some matches or a bic when you arrive.
As was mentioned, there are travel cases for torch lighters that allow them to be checked with fuel in them. Cases cost about $15 and the store that sells them near me recommends leaving all the tags on them so the TSA can see they are approved just in case. |

I'm still quite a newb, so pardon my ignorance:
What would be wrong with cutting the cigars you plan to smoke before you pack them away? Grab matches on site and only pack the cut sticks. I'm sure there's a reason this isn't an option, so I look forward to the education.

I have found that precut cigars never taste quite the same as freshly cut cigars. Couldn't tell you why though. Plus, for me, cutting is an important and special (as weird as that sounds) ritual. So, I lose something if I dont have to cut a cigar. |

![]() ![]() I've never had a pre-cut cigar so I can't say, but I wonder how/why that would affect the flavor.... The ritual part I can understand. I always bang three times on the foot board before I go to bed.... (bizarre O.J. Simpson reference.)

I never take lighters anymore. Cigars in cigar caddy in carryon. I also have cheap cutters I travel with. Although they have never been taken away, I dont care of they are.
