Continuing with my theme of asking people's opinions on cigar smoking habits....
I have received differing advice on how exactly to light a cigar. Previously, I had always held the cigar above a flame and puffed to light the foot. Someone (you know who you are), suggested that I not puff on the cigar while lighting it, but simply heat the foot with a torch or soft flame until the cigar was fully lit. On the other hand, I have seen some veteran cigar smokers puff on their cigars while lighting (of course creating a sizable flame off the end of their cigars). So I ask you, Asylum members, what are your ![]() Really there are two options as I see it... 1. puff while lighting 2. don't puff while lighting. What is your rationale for either side. |

No Puff, well usualy.
Puff if I don't have a torch on me or there is a lit tiki torch near by. ![]() The only problem is I keep waking up in the strangest places when I use that method. ![]() |

I have a reason. I like to see the fire come from the foot of the cigar. I like fire!!!

No Puff.
I toast the foot until it is fully lit. Blow on the foot to make sure the entire foot is glowing. Then the first thing I do, before drawing is one little, quick purge (without the flame) just to blow out any Butane smell that might have pushed into the cigar during the lighting process (it takes a good 25 seconds or so of the torch to full light). Weather or not the small purge is necessary or not, its just something I do every time. |
