I went through the toasting the foot method for a couple of years. Then I finally admitted to myself I couldn't tell any difference at all in taste, burn, whatever. It was kind of a neat ritual, but really no more than that for me.
Now I hold fire to the end and puff away (I said puff

). I get the sucker lit quicker, save fuel, and find myself to be a happier and better adjusted person. YMMV
