Cigar Cutters are not on the prohibited list but torch lighters are and it does not matter about fuel. But when you are in the line dealing with ******** what are you going to do?

Prohibited Items
For Travelers

Torch lighters continue to be banned.

I always throw a Havana cutter (mostly made of plastic) in my carry on luggage and have never had any problems. As for a lighter, I just walk on with a cheap Bic in my pocket which has never set of a metal detector.

You can bring lighters in a checked bag even if they have fuel in one of those yellow TSA cases.

For once I was traveling light and didn't check a bag. I realized, other than losing a lighter or two, carry on only is the way to go if possible.
