Sweet, I'm less worried about the cutter than I am the cigars. Glad to hear all of this. Going to take the print out straight from TSA's site that says cutters are ok too. Thanks for the info!I carried my Palio and Xikar scissors on the plane to Seattle with over 30 cigars. No problem. When I got to Seattle but before getting on the ship bought a small torch lighter. On the trip back we had our bags checked through from the boat to LA so I walked into the airport and thought oh well just lost another torch. I put the cutters and the torch right on top of the bag in plain view. Went through xray, looked at and said have a nice flight.
