Just wonder that if you guys are on few-day business trip that requires plane travel, how you light your cigar after landed given lighters are not allowed on plane; and I am sure that you don't want to keep buying lighters, right? Are matches allowed when carry-on?

FYI, if you search the web for the keywords "TSA Lighters and Matches" the top result should get you the link below; TSA regulations are ever-changing so be sure to check the list before you go.
