Do any of you guys have a travel humidor with a spot for the cutter and lighter? Not necessarily one of the airtight/hard case ones. I have a few excursions coming up (including the Orgy) and it would be nice to be able to take a few cigars and the accessories all in one thing without having to worry about them banging around together.

Not specifically a spot for the accessories, but I just put one of the foam things that comes with the travel humi between my lighter/cutter and the sticks I have in there. No trouble so far.

That would be a good solution. My wife accidentally threw out the foam dividers it came with. and I won't fly with the travel humidor I have. It seals air tight and when I fly the pressure difference seals it so tight I have to pry it open with a knife and I worry about accidentally damaging the sticks inside when I have to do that.

Yeah, that would be a pain to ruin your sticks prying the lid open. We usually drive everywhere so that hasn't been an issue.
I hear they have travel humi's with a pressure relief valve for just that problem. Not sure who makes it tho.
I do have another traveler that doesn't seal, but when I took it to Cayman a few years ago, the high humidity started making my cigars too moist and not smoke as well, so I had to throw them in a ziploc bag inside that humi.

Just close the lid on a small piece of string or heavy thread. Ought to make it leak just enough to equalize.

I have one of those Traveldor's with the pressure valve's. It's made by Cigar Mechanics. Holds about 15 sticks with foam dividers, a lot more without. My always thoughtful girlfriend found it at a Saver's store. I was shocked and excited by the pickup price $5 lol. Checked online cheapest was around $35! Dont know if they make that model anymore, but can't hurt to check around. 10 to 12 gars plus cutter and lighter with no problem's. Although once ya smoke a couple, stuff can start rattling around. But hell Just another excuse to keep it filled up. :thumb:

You could try using a blowtorch :)
Re lighter and cutter in the traveldor with no foam padding... a bic disposable lighter and a cheap plastic cutter with rounded edges would probably not do too much damage.

Yep, as Ninja pointed out I've not had trouble using a coin to open.
I have one with a pressure valve but it's only a fiver case. Happy to send it to you to use if that's enough.
The bigger ones 18, 30, 40 all have them I believe.

Mine doesn't have a pressure release valve, but as others have pointed out, a coin or screwdriver will be enough to break the seal.

I use the Perfecto 8 Cigar Telescoping Case for short trips. I put 4 cigars on one side of the cedar and my accessories on the other side to keep them from banging around. I know a lot of people who use the airtight ones with the foam dividers (like Cigar Caddy or Xikar) and put the cigars under the foam and the accessories on top of it.

I'll pack a screwdriver and when TSA asks, I'll just start mumbling to myself! ;) A coin should do the trick.

I don't know why I didn't think of a coin like StogieNinja suggested. I may just get a little bubble wrap for the cutter and lighter. I need to get some bubble wrap anyway....

You might better check the TSA rules and rules for the airline you are flying with on what kind of lighter and cutter you can even bring. Pretty sure a torch won't be acceptable, unless empty and/or in a special case...soft flame can be carried on...not sure about cutters.
