Checking in to find the latest on lighters and flying.

I have become hooked on traveling with my torch lighter. We enjoy cruising and I especially enjoy lighting a cigar on the balcony, where a torch lighter comes in handy.

I am wondering how people are dealing with the latest ban on lighters aboard planes.

I have had two taken away from me in the past year. Will never fly with one again. Suggestion. . . . .no matter where you hide it they always find it. You know your in for it when they say "we have to send your bag back through for another look" = they found something. If you got it through consider yourself lucky and count your winnings b/c I sure wont risk losing another expensive lighter.

Just my 2 cents

Cruise ship is ok, Airplane is not. NO LIGHTERS on and airplane.
