You have to draw some air (suck on) through the cigar to get it lit properly. You are drawing the flame of the match/lighter to the cigar not resting the foot of the cigar directly into the flame.

Thats how I light and always knew cigars should be lit. People on other forums told me the "best" way is to toast the foot of the cigar indirectly before cutting. I tried this a couple times. After around 30 seconds of trying to light that way I gave up and went to the standard method.
Then again if I did half the stuff people said it would take me an hour just to prep a cigar. I prefer my Zippo soft-flame butane, close to direct light, while drawing. 5 seconds and were good to go.
