Both.
You can transport cigars from home in your carry-on. No TSA questions asked.
Cutters are iffy. TSA may elect to confiscate them from you. Or not.
Don't chance losing your sacred Palio. Pack them in your check baggage.
Lighters are a DEFINITE NO-NO. Leave them home.
Buy one at your destination. Better yet, use stick matches. Pack them with your cutters.
Like HarleyD implied . . . all tourist CC's are fakes.
Enjoy your trip !
