I personally will always fly with my cigars in my carry-on.
Well yeah. Cigars in your carry on is okay too. I sometimes carry my cigars in my carry on. What i really meant was to make sure the cutter and empty torch lighter is in your check in luggage. Got one of my cutters and torch lighters thrown but carrying cigars didnt give me any problems.
So with cigars carry on or check in which ever you prefer. But cutter and torch lighter always in check in hehehhe...

You can carry empty torch lighters in these TSA approved cases.

Wow, leave the site alone for a few hours and the thread explodes! Thanks for the answers! I think ziplock in a tupperwear in the carry on is gonna be what I wind up doing, along with sending my lighter ahead to the where I'm staying (can't buy one there for a few reasons) and stashing my cutter in the checked bag.
Thanks for the replies, I got my questions answered and more
