I'm going to portugal for my sisters wedding next year and I obviously want to bring plenty of cigars to smoke while i'm away. I want to smoke 2-3 a day so i will be bringing about 30 sticks in total. They will be a mixture of petit corona, corona gorda and robusto vitolas. I can't be bothered using cheap Bics the whole time as they become unusable to light larger ring gauges, they have a small flame and they get really hot, several burns experienced in cuba plus they're useless on the beach. I was super jealous to see other guys use torch lighters in varadero, I asked a german where he bought it and he said he simply brought it with him. I want to bring a torch lighter with a single can of butane but put them in my checked baggage. I dont see how having butane is any more riskier than having several highly flammable aerosols (deodorant etc.) in your checked baggage? I have been able to bring butane torch lighters with fuel in them back and forth to Edinburgh with no issue. I suppose i can risk bringing the lighter and buy butane over there but I cant be sure there will be any readily available and cant be bothered with the hassle. I then thought about bringing 8-10 disposable torch lighters but surely that would look suspicious? I would probably have room in my xikar travel humidor for a small can of butane (st dupont xtend type) and that thing has a practically hermetic seal when its closed. Any thoughts? Many Thanks folks!
