Traveling with cigars, need help!

Wow, thanks for all the advice guys!
14holestogie, big cat, chachee52, jetjocky51: Thanks for sharing your experience, I only plan on opening it when I get there and when I get back, no stogies on the plane for me lol
Don Fernando: I will be in East Germany in Leipzig, 2 hours south of Berlin, if you give me those dates you best believe that I will be there, as for you too jetjocky!
Kydsid: Hearing that advice, I really want to carry them on with me, but my only fear is them being brought out for inspection at security. I attend a university that severely looks down upon tobacco use, in fact, by the rules,(which aren't enforced but still worry me) using tobacco while studying abroad is grounds for suspension. And considering that I will be traveling with my fellow students and possibly my professors to Germany really scares me to bring the cigars on my carryon. Do you have any advice for packing them well in the checked bag? The humidor will be packed full of cigars so there shouldn't be too much shifting around inside the humidor.
