Taking Torch Lighter on Airlines: Colibri Tranzpack

[Zeede]

Wait so you can bring a soft flame lighter in your carry on luggage?

Say what?

IM Corona plans to discontinue their famous Double Corona line of lighters. Upon hearing of this news (passed on to us by their Primary US Distributor), I was sort of taken back a bit. The Double Corona lighter is one of the finest soft flame lighters ever introduced to the market. Each hand made of high quality seals and brass internals. Nicely finished with some of the most durable and exotic materials known to man.

So, I asked why? The answer was simple, one gentleman (yup 1 person! Incredible!) was responsible for brazing the fuel tanks and he has decided to pursue his next career, retirement! Congratulations!

There is still some good news, IM Corona has introduced this year the Laurel line, it is gorgeous and nicely refined. We can also bet that Corona will continue to innovate and bring new quality products to the market.

According to FAA bulletin I linked, no. Has to be on person or carryon.

{I can't say if you put one in a Tranzpak that it would be a problem. But I am walking on with a soft flame in my pocket with no problem [after letting it go through X-Ray.}

That's quite a way to run a fairly large corporation.

Good advice 99% of the time.

I'm the 1% magnet for the TSA agents who can't read and or don't care. When flying to a HERF I'll ship my cigars and lighters ahead of time to save hassles. I've been in the back rooms for searches enough times to not even bother worrying anymore about what will happen "this time" while the TSA is looking through my carry on. And I've even had MATCHES removed from my checked luggage with a letter inserted telling me I didn't need that many, so the excess books/boxes were removed.
