My thoughts exactly. I didn't think it was called toasting the foot, as I thought toasting had to be done with a soft flame, and the cigar may, or may not be, lit. I usually use a torch, trying not to let the "blue" flame touch the foot, but the heat at the end of that blue flame is enough to get it lit. When the entire foot is cherry, I will puff away.
Peace of the Lord be with you.
