How do you light your cigar?

[costacoug]

I have heard of people extensive methods like toasting the foot, letting it rest, then lighting it up.
I don't puff while lighting I just hold the cigar at an angle and rotate it about an inch from the torch.
How do you light it up?

I've never been able to "toast the foot" and then puff; I must be doing it wrong.

Toast the foot and light it up at an angle is how I do it.

I toast the foot til it's got a glow, then puff.

Depends on the ring gauge, i toast the larger ring gauges but for smaller ones i just light and puff.

I toast the foot til it's got a glow, then puff.

I do the exact same but start with rotating till I get a glowing ring.

toast... then light and puff lightly. I really take my time. I only light with a soft flame. torches just aren't my thing.

I toast the foot like a mad man till it has a nice even glow on it.. it takes a while so you have to be patient when in a hurry I'll toast it for a bit then puff to get going.

Cut it, toast it, then finish it off with a final puff with the flame.

I start by lighting it a little then puffing while lighting.

I voted for OTHER because I toast the foot good as well before puffing a flame. After the foot is toasted good I will rotate while puffing the light for good measure. This 95% of the time insures a solid and even burn.

I light and blow. I think the puff pulls the cherry to the center of the cigar mostly, but if you blow on the end, it flattens the cherry to the center and edges. IMO.

Toast the foot until it's lit, then one puff out the cigar.

Mostly toast and then smoke.
