I have tried it many many times. I have to say I get the odd looks when I am doing that while lighting up away from the house. Some have said it is a waste of time. Honestly I at times feel it was a waste of time. When I cut my cigars and take a pre Draw I can tell what kind of Cigar it will be. If it is hard to Draw it will be nothing but a nightmare of a smoke. There are a few that get in the mix that has a Perfect draw and lights/burns perfect 1/2 through the thing and then it gets nasty and tight. I avoid them in the future.

However to say that Roosting your foot before you light your cigar for me is BS. There are just some Cigars that have issues no matter how you light it. I just try and keep an eye on the cigar and play touch up if needed before it gets out of hand.
