Singapore layover

[torsion]

Hi all,

I have a close friend (let's call him MC) traveling to the Phillipines via Singapore as a layover tomorrow and he sent me the message below.Anyone with extensive knowledge of how things roll in Singapore airport your advice is greatly appreciated. He's been on Trip Advisor and seen some comments of airside lockers(?). Having another mate recently move to Singapore they didn't take lightly to what he bought with him and destroyed the excess on the spot.

"Hello mate. Off on my travels tomorrow and I just realised I have a one night layover in Singapore before heading to Philippines and just realised they don’t allow any tobacco products in. I’ve got like 70 and most are gifts to Philippines cigar group. 

I don’t even want to take my suitcase out of the airport, want to leave it there and just head into Singapore with a rucksack and 2 cigars.

Any chance you can ask your mate in Singapore what I should do?"

Thanks in advance.

Don
