toasting vs. drawing while lighting - Page 2

I always toast the foot with a torch lighter, then I puff on the cigar with a soft flamb. I have found this is the best way to get an even burn on my cigars. I say light your cigars in any way that makes you happy.

Well yesterday I tried a relight by putting the flame into the foot without puffing. Once it was glowing I expelled a little before giving it a light draw. I found that really helped the cigar not get harsh. Anybody else try this?

I use the Da Klugs method. That's how I was taught, and it's worked for me so I stick with it.

When relighting, I always blow through the cigar before hand, then use the Da Klugs method again. I find blowing through first clears whatever it is that causes that relight nastyness. It works most of the time.

I also use the same method as Da Klugs. I don't start drawing on it until the foot is completely lit.

I tried the toasting method the other day on a Perdomo Lot 23, and boy, the difference in taste was incredible.

Sitting/talking = toasting
Riding/windy = light it straight on with torch

You do what it takes!
