Plane Carry-on : Cigar

[StogieObie]

I fly about 4 times a month and always have sticks with me. The only I had a problem was when I flew home from Ft Myers, FL and they asked me if they were CCs because I didn't have labels on them. Come to find out, it was the guys first day.

Yes it is, I recently learned the hard way that if you check a travel humidor i.e. the Xikar the altitude or lack of cabin pressure creates a huge vacuum and it has to be opened with a screwdriver if you can get that to work. It took me a day and a half to pry it open and it sounded like opening a can of beer when I did. The cigars were fine, i just hated waiting. I asked coming back if I could carry it on and it was fine. Hope this helps!

Side note....The larger cigar caddy's have a pressure release valve that comes in handy when traveling to elevated areas or when flying.

Carry your cigars. Trust me TSA knows what a cigar looks like in an xray. As far as personal search, they really dont care about your cigars and where they are from.

Not necssary. Between Ken and I it has already been proven. Nice try though.

Yeah, I have flown many times with some "great" cigars. Carry them Kumar.

I travel with a 30 or 50 count Xicar w/ the pressure nozzle and have carried it on multiple times.

Here is how the conversation usually goes:

Security: Please remove your Laptop sir.
Me: It's not a laptop
Security: Then your DVD player
Me: It's not a DVD player

*puzzled, yet ready to attack face*

Me: It's my cigars...here look.
Security: What, why do you... ok.
Me: Thanks.

I will give you my 30 count case. Fill it up and throw the Palio in it as well...then lock it. I will give you one of my converted Zippos and my TSA approved carrier. Lock all of it in your luggage, and you will be good to go.

How big? Mine is the Xikar 10 count carrier. I don't see a valve of any sort though. That was a really crappy surprise I can say that much. I hope this info helps.
