how do you light up a cigar?

I try not to let the foot get too close to the flame, just barely putting the edge next to the top of the flame and rotate until it gets going all the way around. Then I put the flame up to the foot while I take few shallow puffs to get the whole thing orange. The smaller the RG, the easier the process. If I'm smoking a lancero or something really thin, I don't bother toasting.

It makes me cringe when I see people just burn the crap out of the end, taking huge puffs with the flame on the foot.
