CIGARHead Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 I am flying out to Cali on Saturday and have my CigarCaddy filled up. I dont trust the folks who rummage through your bag enough to just stick it in w/ my luggage so I want to carry it on. Its the big 25ct black CigarCaddy. My question: What experience has anybody had good/bad carrying on a big black box full of cigars on a plane. I can just see them hasseling me about it. Any experiences would be mucho appreciated:ok: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colt45 Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 In all the times I've flown with cigars, I've always carried them on, and have never had a problem. They've never even asked to open a travel humidor or pulled them out of my carry on. Remember that most airlines allow one carry on, plus one personal item. The caddy would count as your personal item. I'm flying this weekend myself - 25 count caddy as well. I hope I didn't just jinx myself! Safe travels.

herfkid Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 I've flown a few times recently with a 15-count Otterbox, with no problems. That one fits in my backpack, so it just glides through security. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just got done making the bands disappear and re-banding w/ just the name. Always be one step ahead;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take the bands off when returning from other countries but put them back again once I am safely at home. Cigarhead, I've travelled to Orlando, Chicago and California by plane> I've placed my two 15-counts at the bottom of my handcarry. All cigars had bands on. I never had a problem with them at the airport. :-D :-D :-D so far so good!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strayvector Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 I frequently travel from the US to Europe and back and I always bring my 10 count cigar caddy with me from the US and have never had a problem carrying in my backpack. I also have never had a problem bringing it back to the US filled with Cubans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjwright Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 I've carried several travel humidors in my backpack before without problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjisaacson Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 no problems for me... when travelling in the states...even when i had to the extra "random" search area where they looked through all my stuff and patted me down... one of the guys commented on the nice stash i had and gave me a wink... these guys and gals are airport security not customs... they just are doing there job to attempt to keep our airports and planes as safe as possible, they dont have time or the jurisdiction to question customs issues... now if going out of the country or coming back in, i would definately remove the bands and replace them with my "custom" hand calligraphied ones... :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 What a timely post. I was about to write the same question to the forum. I am flying to Alaska for a week of fly fighing and could not do the trip with out the Habanos. Scared to death about getting into trouble or having them confiscated. I love my bands on cigars and hate to remove them. Problem--- 25cnt box ain't goin to cut it for the whole week. Could need 30-35 sticks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rumrogue Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 My only suggestion would be to wear yer best Kevlar suit, mate, & smile a lot at the nice people with them loud bangy things. It was good knowin' yer! :crying: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
