Cigar cutters can be checked, and I'm pretty sure carried on. No jet type lighters, so just pick up a cheap lighter somewhere.

The things I notice when traveling to the mainland - you dont need to smile at everyone you pass or say hello to strangers (they think you are wierd or something), look before crossing the street, cars don't stop and wait patiently like they do here.

Also, I always look for a cigar shop, as most places on the mainland have lower taxes and no import cost, so prices are better. Last time I was in VA, I picked up a ton of smokes that I can't find here or are 3x the price here. Also, sitting in a cigar shop lounge allows for meeting new people and intresting conversation.

Have a great trip, I love going to the mainland and stretching out a little bit. Plus, the cold makes you really happy you live here.
