No kidding, I really don't think that is necessary. Wouldn't a soft flame lighter do the same job without having to use 3 matches? 3-4 minutes to light a cigar....I suppose if I was smoking a cigar I would never get to smoke again I might consider spending about half that amount of time with a soft flame lighter, but most of my cigars get the 20-30 second torch from a butane lighter after I clip the cap.

Re: Do you puff when lighting cigars
 
I watched a movie about the Fuente's and watched the old man firing up a stick with a big old ball of flames going on at the end of the cigar. For all the methodology I've heard, and all the overthinking and nuance, that single vision pretty much sealed it up for me.
I do sometimes toast the foot a little before I go wild, but I've pretty much dispensed with all the other playing around.

Myself, it depends what I am lighting the stick with. If it is a torch I toast, if its a match or a traditional flame lighter I puff. To me it kinda seems like some times puffing it while you light it makes for an uneven burn. Not all the time but it seems to happen more often than with a toasting. :2 The way I feel though is if your enjoying what your smoking there is no wrong way to spark it.

Like others here, no puff with the torch. Only puff with wooden matches, but rarely do I ever use matches.

Sometimes I just toast with a cedar strip , match or torch lighter . Other times I take a couple draws when I'm feeling impatient . I refuse to Puff anymore ! -(P

No Puff for me I toast the foot. I use to puff, but from what ive seen when you puff it seems to make the light more uneven and you get runaways off the bat. or Maybe im just OCD like no other. who knows.

I slowly toast the foot without letting the flame touch. Once the entire foot is burning I remove the flame for 20 seconds and take my first gentle sip. This way, cigars never have a harsh or bitter start.

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.
Same here...

What did it seal up for you?

From what I read, that it's just fine to set the cigar foot on fire to light it if you want. If it is good enough for Old Man Fuente, it's good enough for Scott. And me.

I usually puff and light, but yesterday I tried another method. I used a soft-flame and lit the entire foot of the cigar and then took some puffs on it. I think I might resort to this method from now on... Not as hot or bitter at first this way.
