Agreed!

Cheap cutter, cheap lighter or buy it there and toss it.

I've never had a problem with either but it's not worth it. I deal with the same crap cause I carry two pocket knives, always. So I leave them in the car and buy some cheapies when I land. I gift them before I get back on the plane to go home.

alright, thanks for the advice guys. Just to reassure my self, there is no problem with a 5c xikar travelador(link) with some sticks in it, right?

No worries with carrying sticks on.

Hehe, better bring a cigar FOR her dad.

I'd fill that traveldor lol. If you like Rocky Patels, I am able to fit 6 of their box pressed cigars in my 5ct traveldor if I turn them sideways.

I hear ya, I wouldn't even THINK to take my Strider SMF on the plane with me. I would mail you're good **** to where ever you go.....cutters/lighters/knives whatever....and mail it back to your house afterwards. Especially if you're staying a few weeks. What does it cost $5-$7 bucks both ways? Don't risk your good stuff, ship it or don't but there's always cheapies that will get you by.
